I believe Split is a bit overrated.. don't get me wrong good movie, fun atmosphere but it ain't the 'second coming'.
You need to keep in mind the measly $9M budget.

i just started watching split, got 4 minutes and 42 seconds in before i got mad at the kidnapping scene
im ok with the suspension of disbelief that theres a magic spray that can make you instantly go unconscious and not kill you.
but that girl couldve popped out of the car and screamed for help so easily, she just fucking sat there and let herself be kidnapped. it was like a full minute from when she realized the danger to when he sprayed the girl in shotgun. she just watched her friends get sprayed then just sat there after, like he wasnt gonna do it to her. slowly opening the door like he wouldnt notice she was sitting 6 inches from him
same with the girls getting sprayed, it took like a full 1-2 seconds to spray the first girl and the second girl just fucking sat there sticking her hands up in surrender. why not open the door? why not punch, why not duck down behind the driver seat
im gonna continue watching, but this scene rustled my jimmies even more than the plane scene in the dark knight rises and i had to come on to vent
This is my feeling as well. I'm just wondering if Mr. Glass might have a few other thoughts/tricks up his sleeve. On a separate but related note, I also wonder if age is going to have affected Dunn's powers at all. He's going to be an old man going up against the young buck.
Glass is gonna get a bigger budget than Split.
Co-producer Jason Blum tells Collider that Glass will have a bigger budget than the original movie:
“The budget is more traditional, still by Hollywood standards a very low budget, but it is not $5 million.”
Blum still hasn’t seen the screenplay that Shyamalan is working on, but hopes they will begin production by the end of the year. It makes sense that a combined Split/Unbreakable sequel will have to be bigger in its ambition and budget than Split was, but the question is how big of a movie will it be? Blum says it’s still “a very low budget by Hollywood standards,” which leads me to believe it will be priced moderately between $30-50 million.
Bringing on big name actors like Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson will probably account for some of that. Willis reportedly asks $1 million per shooting day, while Samuel L Jackson has supposedly made $7 million on some of the Marvel films. Unless these actors and McAvoy are taking back end deals, the budget is already being increased considerably due to their involvement as leads in the film.
