‘Glass’ Is Fighting For The Broken In New International Trailer

Buena Vista International has released an international trailer for the sequel to 2016’s Split, Glass, which shows more footage and unveils more of the sinister titular character.

This trailer contains a ton of new footage and the most we have seen so far of Sarah Paulson’s character Dr. Ellie Staple. While she is presented as a run-of-the-mill psychiatrist that specializes in strange behavior, there is something inherently off about her when juxtaposed next to Elijah Price’s villainous monologue about how these enhanced entities have been lied to. Either way, this preview brings many more questions about what we will see when Glass hits theaters. You can check out the video below.

Price points out that they have been lying to them this entire time and that belief itself is contagious. Glass, Dunn, and The Beast are powerful beings who are part of something much larger. Dr. Staple attempts to convince them this is not the case, but audiences have seen what these individuals are capable of. So unless it was all in our heads and we were all just seeing super people, someone somewhere is up to something and Elijah Price may have figured it out.

In cliché villain fashion to expose this, Mr. Glass looks to come out of the shadows, have the Beast avenge them and prove to the world that heroes and villains exist. This is looking to be a dark, gritty take on the superhero genre, the likes of which fans haven’t seen since The Dark Knight trilogy. Thanks to the latest trailer, fans will have a lot more to speculate on until the film finally arrives.

Do you think there is a larger conspiracy at work here involved in the treatment of Glass, the Beast, and David Dunn? Is M. Night Shyamalan setting up a larger world of superheroes? Is there more to Sarah Paulson’s character? Is she there to treat them or control them? Is Glass really the bad guy here? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Here is the synopsis for Glass:

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.

Written and directed by M Night Shyamalan, Glass stars James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Spencer Treat Clark, and Charlayne Woodard.

Glass will be released in theaters on January 18, 2019.
