Clayface Movie: Horror Vibes in DC Lineup

0:00It's April 22nd. From red carpets to breaking stories, this is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. DC Studios just dropped the first look teaser trailer for their upcoming clay face movie, and it's straight horror vibes. Tom Rees Harry stars as Matt Hagen, a rising actor who gets wrecked by gangsters and morphs into the shape-shifting Batman villain, they shifted the release to October 23rd, perfect for spooky season. The trailer is all about that freaky transformation, kicking off with a bloody bandaged close-up of Hagen's face, then flashing to him melting in an an-air plane bathroom, on the street, and even naked watching his mud dissolve. We spot a Gotham cop car too, locking it into Batman territory, though Bruce Wayne ain't cast yet. Fans are buzzing because this flips the script on DC's usual heroes, think Superman's bright optimism or peacemaker's wild laughs. Many face dives deep into terror, with supporting players like Naomi Aki, David Densik, Max Ming Hella, and Eddie Marcon rounding out the cast.

1:02Behind the scenes, it's Mike Flanagan's concept, the dude behind Haunting of Hill House and Dr. Sleep, with James Watkins directing from that script. Pulls from the feet of clay story and Batman, the animated series, giving a real comic roots. This one's carving out horror space and DC's lineup, alongside stuff like Lantern's detective grit and Supergirl's cosmic ride. Trailers out now. If you're into body horror and villains getting their shine, keep an eye on Gotham this fall.
