DC’s Clayface trailer shifts the focus from superheroes to supervillain

September 24, 2026 by Gary Collinson

With Supergirl failing to soar with audiences and critics alike earlier this year, Warner Bros. and DC Studios will be hoping the shift from superheroes to supervillains brings some fresh interest to their rebooted DC Universe next month with the horror-thriller Clayface, which has just received its final trailer.

Tom Rhys Harries takes on the role of the titular Batman villain in the film, which is directed by James Watkins (The Woman in Black) from a script by Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep) and Hossein Amini (Drive), while the cast also includes Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll, and Joshua James. Watch the new trailer below…

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.

Clayface is set for release on October 23rd 2026.
