Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson Face The Beast in First 'Glass' Trailer — Watch Now
It’s the sequel nearly two decades in the making: Glass, M. Night Shyamalan’s eagerly awaited follow-up to both 2000’s Unbreakable and 2016’s Split. The writer-director — along with cast members Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson and Anya Taylor-Joy — dropped by the illustrious Hall H at Comic-Con on Friday to debut the first trailer for the comic-book thriller.
The trailer centers around Paulson’s Dr. Ellie Staple, a psychiatrist who specializes in delusions of grandeur as she meets these supposed superheroes. Paulson shot in an abandoned mental hospital — “Creepy, creepy, creepy,” Jackson said — and called it the “coldest place that I’ve ever been in my life.”
“It was, like, a mile to the bathroom. We would sit in this place between takes without heat,” the actress said with a laugh from the stage, though she noted it was a good distraction from working across from some of the most “iconic” characters in movie history. “But pulling the stockings down for the peeing was not my favorite day, kids!”

Here is the movie’s official synopsis:
“From UNBREAKABLE, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from SPLIT are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast.
Following the conclusion of SPLIT, GLASS finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.”
