Skydance's official website has described the upcoming DC Universe film Clayface as the "chilling Gotham anti-hero," the first time that framing has been used for the movie, according to screenrant.com.

The movie is the first R-rated theatrical release in the DC Universe franchise. It is set to be the final DCU release of 2026 and, at the time of writing, is only weeks away from theaters.
