Overview
- DC Studios released the first Clayface teaser online Wednesday following last week’s in-room debut at CinemaCon.
- The film centers on Matt Hagen, a rising actor disfigured in a knife attack who seeks an experimental treatment that leads to shapeshifting powers.
- Set within the new DCU, the movie offers the first big-screen look at this continuity’s Gotham City without tying into Matt Reeves’ separate Batman films.
- Tom Rhys Harries leads the cast, with James Watkins directing from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, and producers include James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Matt Reeves.
- Warner Bros. also issued a grim poster and synopsis that frame the story as a descent into identity loss, toxic love, and scientific overreach, with the theatrical opening set for October 23, 2026.
