Fans were quite shocked to learn that the entire story told in Split, which takes place in M. Night Shyamalan’s hometown of Philadelphia, was actually set in the same universe as Unbreakable, with the final scene revealing Bruce Willis’ surprise cameo as David Dunn.
Today, both M. Night Shyamalan and Split star James McAvoy discussed how that twist came to be, and how it will lead into either Split 2 or Unbreakable 2.
Night Shyamalan revealed in an interview yesterday that his next movie will be a follow-up, featuring Kevin Wendell Crumb from Split, alongside David Dunn and Mr. Glass from Unbreakable.
It remains to be seen if any of the discarded ideas from the Split script find their way into the Unbreakable 2 script, or when M. Night Shyamalan will start working on the actual script itself.
