Description
Clayface is a 2026 American body horror psychological thriller film based on the eponymous character from DC Comics. Directed by James Watkins from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, it is the third film in the DC Universe (DCU). Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen / Clayface, alongside Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, and Eddie Marsan. In the film, after becoming disfigured by a mobster (Dencik), Hagen turns to a scientist (Ackie) who transforms his body to restore his former look. While pursuing revenge, he begins to lose his sanity as he is unable to recognize himself. It is produced by Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris alongside James Gunn and Peter Safran of DC Studios.
After expressing interest in a Clayface film both publicly and to DC Films for their DC Extended Universe (DCEU) franchise, Flanagan pitched the project to the newly formed DC Studios in March 2023. The film and Flanagan's involvement were confirmed in December 2024 as part of the DCU, the successor to the DCEU. Flanagan was unable to direct the film due to scheduling issues. Watkins was hired in February 2025, Amini was rewriting the script by May, and Rhys Harries was cast in June. Additional casting took place in the following months. Filming lasted from the end of August until the start of November 2025, taking place on location throughout Liverpool and on soundstages at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in England.
Clayface premiered at the Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles on October 13, 2026, and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on October 23, 2026. It is part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The film has grossed $48.8 million worldwide.
