In Brief: 'Clayface' Official Trailer and More
Matt Hagen’s experimental treatment restores his looks before dangerous side effects turn him into Clayface, with the trailer leaning into body horror and revenge.
- DC Studios released the first full trailer for 'Clayface', providing the clearest look yet at Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen and the physical changes transforming him into the Batman villain.
- Following an attack that left his face disfigured and ended his Hollywood career, Hagen approaches scientist Caitlyn Corr for experimental treatments to restore his appearance.
- Graphic sequences in the trailer show Hagen using scissors to remove melting skin; Director James Watkins told Entertainment Weekly the design was influenced by body-horror films including 'The Fly'.
- Corr's engagement to police detective John Pearlman creates personal conflict for Hagen, while the R-rated film from producers Matt Reeves and James Gunn opens in theaters on October 23.
- Seeking to restore confidence in the DC Universe after 'Supergirl' underperformed, the studio aims for this horror-focused feature to establish a distinct identity separate from the Robert Pattinson-led 'The Batman' franchise.
