It's all happening. After bringing Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and James McAvoy back to their Unbreakable / Split roles, M. Night Shyamalan's Glass (the sequel to both of those films) offically began production in Philadelphia on Monday, and showed off a new title card to boot.

Night's latest thiller will be distributed by Disney and Universal, and follows Willis' superhuman Penn security guard, David Dunn, as he pursues McAvoy's The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Jackson's Elijah Price (a/k/a "Mr. Glass") emerges as an orchestrator. Returning Unbreakable cast members also include Spencer Treat Clark (as David's son) and Charlayne Woodard (as Price's mother). Coming back from Split is Anya Taylor-Joy, who reprises her role as the only survivor of an encounter with The Beast.
We don't know about you guys, but we're so pumped for this movie to bring the M. Night Universe full circle. There's a ton of potential here for a great, great movie.
Glass hits theaters January 18, 2019.
