April 22, 2026 by Matt Rodgers

DC Studios has unleashed the teaser trailer for their first-ever foray into the horror genre, Clayface, a gross-out thriller starring Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines) in the title role of the Gotham City villain.

Directed by James Watkins, from a script by horror maestro Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, Clayface tells the story of one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster. Also starring Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll and Joshua James, you can check out the terrific poster and first look trailerbelow…

Clayface unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.

Clayface is in theaters in North America on October 23rd, and internationally beginning 21 October 2026.
