DC Studios revealed a brand new trailer for Clayface, showing off more of the body-horror action to expect from DCU’s next outing.
Riding the wave of pre-SDCC hype, DC Studios dropped a fresh trailer for Clayface. We get a bit more on the overall story we’ll be seeing and plenty more on the horror aspect that might make your skin crawl.
I’m…curious. While I think the initial teaser was better in terms of setting the vibe and tone, there are some interesting things going on here. I like the idea of this being more of a revenge type flick, which allows the titular villain to actually BE a villain (unlike the Spidey villain spin-offs). I’m not entirely sold, but I’m ready to believe.
Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.
The film also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, as well as Nancy Carroll and Joshua James.
James Watkins directs from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, story by Flanagan, based on characters from DC. The film is produced by Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn and Peter Safran, with Michael E. Uslan, Chantal Nong Vo, Lars P. Winther, Rafi Crohn and Paul Ritchie executive producing.
Clayface hits theaters on October 23, 2026.
