Overview
- A tamer green‑band teaser for Clayface has been shown in theaters before screenings of Supergirl and portions of that footage have leaked online.
- The film is described by the studio as a body‑horror thriller directed by James Watkins with a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini and stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen.
- Multiple reports from unnamed test screenings say audience reactions were very positive and indicate Hagen may ultimately transform into a large, comic‑style Clayface figure, though those details are unconfirmed by the studio.
- DC Studios currently does not expect Batman to appear or be named in Clayface, but studio choices and marketing could still change before the movie opens in October.
- James Gunn has publicly praised Flanagan’s pitch for a horror take on a DC character, and the film’s cast and producers show DC is backing the project as a notable tonal experiment for the DCU.
