In a series of escalating encounters, former security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities. Meanwhile, the shadowy presence of Elijah Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.
Glass recap
Glass (2019) locks David Dunn, Kevin Wendell Crumb and Elijah Price in one psychiatric hospital whose doctor insists none of them has powers. M. Night Shyamalan wrote and directed this final part. David (Bruce Willis), now a vigilante called the Overseer, works with his grown son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark) and tracks Kevin (James McAvoy) to a factory where he holds four cheerleaders. Their fight ends in capture by Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), who locks them in Raven Hill Memorial with a sedated Elijah (Samuel L. Jackson). Staple targets each man's weakness, water for David and flashing light for Kevin, and argues their gifts are delusions. Casey Cooke (Anya Taylor-Joy), Joseph and Elijah's mother each fail to persuade her. Elijah has been faking his stupor, survives a botched brain procedure and frees Kevin, planning a public show of the Beast's strength at the new Osaka Tower. Needs both Unbreakable and Split first.
Glass ending explained
Glass ends with all three men dead in the hospital parking lot: the Beast fatally wounds Elijah after learning Elijah's train crash killed Kevin's father, a sniper shoots Kevin as Casey reaches his true self, and police drown David in a puddle. Staple reveals she works for a secret group that has hidden superhumans for centuries. Elijah had live-streamed the fight to a private site, and Joseph, Casey and Mrs. Price release the footage to the world. No further film in the series has been made.
