Like theGlasspreview that screened at CinemaConearlier this year , the official trailer reveals thatDavid , Elijah , and Kevin notice themselves locked uptogether in the cinema , in part because the three claim to be comic book characters who live in the real humanity ( and also because , y’know , Elijah and Kevin were both creditworthy for killing several people ) . Sarah Paulson costars inGlassas the healer who ’s tax with trying to understand these three men and who they really are . answer it to say , though , that does n’t work out and David , Elijah , and Kevin eventually snap off free , as David sets out to contain The Beast before he kills again . The firstGlassposter was also unveiled at SDCC and can be seen below :
As one might expect from the preview for a Shyamalan movie , theGlasstrailer bet things tightlipped to the chest and does its skilful to mother interest in the movie , but without give away too much in the process . The actual film will be tasked with paying off plot of ground threads from bothUnbreakableandSplit , including the latter ’s subplot involvingCasey Cooke ( Anya Taylor - Joy ): the abused young woman who was kidnapped by Kevin ’s unsavory personality and managed to survive her first brush with the Beast . Kevin ’s Disassociate Identity Disorder will also be explored in expectant deepness inGlass , revealing more of his 24 personality in sum ( The Beast include ) .
It will certainly be interesting to see if Shyamalan can bring these various threads to a satisfying conclusion inGlass , especially as Elijah ’s story go to the foreground ( as suggested by the moving picture ’s title ) . BothUnbreakableandSplithave been praised for not only their rich domain building , but also how they weave together different superhero and thriller tropes . Both have simultaneously been criticized for their treatments of disabilities and scratchy spirit , so it remain to be seen ifGlassaddresses either of those issues , even while it institute Shyamalan ’s trilogy to a close .
