--- SPOILER ALERT BELOW ---
Shyamalan's theory is this... there are three phases to most superhero movies. 1st, the discovery. The superhero acquires, or realizes his/her power. 2nd, the antagonist is developed. The "bad guy" needs to come about somehow. 3rd, the fight and conclusion. There has to be a battle and some kind of ending. Well, Unbreakable, the entire movie, is just that first phase. Bruce Willis discovering who he is.
The movie followed the Sixth Sense surprise ending with one of its own. But definitely left room for the story to continue. Josh Wigler at MTV interviewed Shayamalan and this is what he had to say:
I don’t know where all the parties are in the world. Sam [Jackson] is like ‘Mr. Comic Book’ now. And Bruce, I don’t know what he’s up to. I don’t know where Disney’s at in their head and what kind of movies they’re up for making. But yeah, I love that movie.
The article sites Jackson as being on board and fully supportive. Can Willis say no? I am excited about this one guys, anyone else?!
