The surprise superhero trilogy that tragically fell apart at the final hurdle hasn’t been forgiven for failing

Given his consistently polarizing nature for cinematic sleight of hand, twist endings, and terrible blockbusters, it was somewhat fitting that M. Night Shyamalan quietly constructed a subversive superhero trilogy we didn’t even know existed until after the middle chapter had drawn to a close.

Unbreakable introduced the world to Bruce Willis’ David Dunn and Samuel L. Jackson’s Elijah Price in a stunning deconstruction of the genre that remains a minor classic, before Split left jaws on the floor a full 16 years later when the tale of James McAvoy’s Kevin Wendell Crumb ended with a mid-credits cameo from Willis that set up the crossover nobody expected, but instantly needed in their lives.
