Clayface is genuinely such an exciting CBM

The Clayface movie is being directed by James Watkins, who is known for his work on Speak No Evil. The screenplay was written by Mike Flanagan. Based on the character created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane for DC Comics, the titular DC character is best known as a fan-favorite Batman villain who has shapeshifting abilities. Described as a body horror thriller, the adaptation will reportedly feature “a Hollywood horror tale centering on a B-movie actor who injects himself with a substance to keep himself relevant.”

According to DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, he and Matt Reeves were blown away by Harries’s audition. Before landing his high-profile project as the lead, the Welsh actor had supporting roles in movies like 2019’s The Gentlemen and 2023’s Kandahar. He also appeared in British shows such as Suspicion, The Split, and Doctor Who.
