R-rated Clayface opens in theaters October 24
Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen in the DCU horror film directed by James Watkins from a script by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini.
Clayface, the R-rated DCU film about the Batman villain, opens in theaters on October 24, three days from the date of the report. Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, the character who becomes Clayface.
James Watkins directed the film from a script by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini. The story is a standalone one: a Hollywood star disfigured by the mob undergoes scientific treatment and is transformed.
First reactions to the film were mostly positive, with praise for its body horror, its tragic tone and Harries' performance, according to collider.com.
The film arrives as part of a DCU slate that James Gunn and Peter Safran designed to span genres from superhero action to horror. In 2021, Flanagan first expressed hopes of making a Clayface film through a tragic horror lens.
Reports from 2023 that the Clayface story was moving forward initially seemed unsubstantiated before DC greenlit the film.
