M. Night Shyamalan has delivered no shortage of mind-blowing moments throughout his career – in fact, he’s made a career out of doing just that – and one of those cinematic mind-blowers came in the form of Split back in 2016. Completely out of the blue, you surely recall, Shyamalan revealed in the final moments that Split was set in the world of Unbreakable.
This surprising connection between two of Shyamalan’s movies paved the way for Glass in 2019, which served as a sequel to both Split and Unbreakable at the very same time.
As it turns out, Shyamalan played with the idea of diving even further into his own shared universe, at one point considering a connection between Glass and The Visit (2015).
“There was one tie-in that I almost did. It was in Glass when they all got to the mental institution. I was going to tell a story about The Visit and how two people escaped from that same hospital. I was going to do it, but I chickened out,” Shyamalan just told THR!
That extra added twist to Glass would’ve connected Unbreakable, Split, Glass, and The Visit all in the very same universe, which needless to say would’ve been a treat for Shyamalan fans.
Will he deliver more surprise connections in the future? Only time will tell…
Up next from Shyamalan, Knock at the Cabin releases in theaters on February 3, 2023!
