Glass is the bookending entry into M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable trilogy, and features a detail only the most eyes-on fans have a chance in hell of noticing.

Though it's no secret that Glass brings fans back to the iconic comic book store from Unbreakable, you're less-likely to notice that the same employee has apparently kept working there for the last two decades.

When Casey Cooke (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Joseph Dunn (Spencer Treat Clark) both visit the store mid-film, the clerk is played by Bostin Christopher, who played the very same role 19 years earlier when he briefly encountered Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) in Unbreakable.

Though Christopher's shaggy mane of hair is mostly the same, he's difficult to spot the first time due to his glasses and extensive facial hair. You'll need to have seen Unbreakable recently to have any chance at all of noticing this.
