Clayface Horror Film: A New Nightmare

0:00On April 26, DC Studios is dropping a straight-up horror flick centered on Clayface that shapeshifting Batman villain from 1940. Tom Rees Harrys plays struggling actor Matt Hagen, who gets his face slashed and turns to a shady experimental fix from a scientist played by Naomi. Aki, it hits theaters, October 23, 2026, directed by James Watkins with a script from horror master Mike Flanagan. The cast rounds out with Max Mingela as a Gotham detective, plus Eddie Marsan and David Dinsick. This one's leaning hard into body horror, showing Hagen morphing into a monstrous goo-man after the Bosch procedure. No Batman confirmed yet, keeping the focus tight on the villain's twisted origin. Clayface blew up in the 90s Batman animated series and popped up lately in shows like Creature Commandos and Harley Quinn. DC Boss' James Gunn and Peter Safran call it a fresh take, more terrifying than Joker or Penguin Tales and fully baked into the main DC universe.

1:01Not. Matt Rees is separate Batman crime saga. A teaser trailer dropped, April 22, clocking in at one minute of pure nightmare fuel, bandage faces, melting skin, shower scenes where he wipes his mug clean off. Gunn says it's no standard superhero story, but a complete horror joint that hooked them after Flanagan's killer script landed. With Watkins' track record and scares like Eden Lake and Speak No Evil, this could redefine villain movies. Keep an eye out. Clayface is sliding into the big leagues, ready to reshape Gotham's nightmares. That's your update from Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
