We’ll get our first introduction to the DC Universe’s Matt Hagen tomorrow (April 22) with the first teaser trailer for comic book horror movie Clayface, we’ve learned this afternoon.
DC is moving into body horror territory with Clayface, which will release only in theaters on October 23, 2026. Check out the first two pieces of official marketing below.
And come on back here tomorrow for the Clayface teaser trailer.
James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) directs from a script by Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep) and Hossein Amini (Drive).
The project is being compared to David Cronenberg’s The Fly.
The story centers on an actor who injects himself with a substance to remain relevant, only to find out that he can reshape his face and form, becoming a walking piece of clay.
Max Minghella (Spiral: From the Book of Saw), Tom Rhys Harries (The Gentlemen) and Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) star. Rhys Harries will be playing the movie’s title character.
James Gunn’s DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran previously called Clayface “an incredible body horror film that reveals a compelling origin of a classic Batman villain.”
