Tom Rhys Harries to Lead DC Movie CLAYFACE

Relative newcomer Tom Rhys Harries ("White Lines", Kandahar", "The Gentleman") is set to star in the upcoming DC Studios superhero horror movie "Clayface". According to reports, he will star as the Matt Hagen version of the character.

The news was delivered by James Gunn via X: "After a long and incredibly exhaustive search, we finally have our DCU Clayface in Tom Rhys Harries. Both Matt Reeves and I were just blown away by this guy, and can't wait for you to see this film."

The film is directed by James Watkins ("Eden Lake") from a script by Mike Flanagan ("The Fall of the House of Usher", "Midnight Mass", "The Haunting of Hill House") and a rewrite by Hossein Amini ("Drive"). Gunn and Reeves are producing.

Matthias Schoenaerts to Play Villain in SUPERGIRL Movie

"Rust and Bone" and "The Old Guard" actor Matthias Schoenaerts is in final negotiations to star as the villain in DC Studios' "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow". The movie is based on Tom King's 2022 comic book series illustrated by Bilquis Evely. Craig Gillespie ("I, Tonya", "Cruella") will direct from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira ("Hightown", "The Vampire Diaries").

Schoenaerts' role was not officially named, but the villain from the comic book is Krem of the Yellow Hill, who kills a young alien girl's father and draws Supergirl into the conflict. "House of the Dragon" star Milly Alcock will star in the title role, and she's also appearing in another DC project before making her big-screen debut as Supergirl.

The film is part of the "Gods and Monsters" Phase 1 of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Extended Universe. "Supergirl" will begin production in January in the UK and will be released in theaters on June 26, 2026. In 2025 we will get to watch "Superman" starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Gunn and Safran are producing. DC EVP Chantal Nong is executive producing.

Gunn said the following in January: "We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he's an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life"
