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.
The story centers on a B-movie actor who injects himself with a substance to keep himself relevant, only to find out that he can reshape his face and form, becoming a walking piece of clay, a shape-shifting creature that alternates between villain and ally of Batman. George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O'Connell, and Leo Woodall were in the running to star in the titular role.
Production is expected to begin this fall, and the film will be released on September 11, 2026.
