'Clayface' molds DC Studios' first horror movie
- DC Studios released the first trailer for Clayface, confirming a theatrical release on October 23, 2026, with Tom Rhys Harries starring as Matt Hagen, a rising Hollywood actor.
- Directed by James Watkins from a script by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, the origin story follows Hagen's descent into a revenge-filled monster after a gangster's attack forces him to undergo experimental transformation.
- Footage showcases Hagen bandaged in bed and morphing his hand into a mace-shaped weapon, evoking comparisons to Darkman and The Fly for their body horror and haunting imagery of shape-shifting faces.
- Unlike Todd Phillips' 2019 Joker, the project is part of the DCU, following James Gunn's Superman as the third theatrical entry, with Supergirl arriving June 26.
- Future DCU titles include Man of Tomorrow, set for July 9, 2027, and Matt Reeves' The Batman: Part II, arriving October 1, 2027, as the studio continues its second wave of theatrical projects.
