A new batch of Clayface set photos has surfaced online as production on DC Studios’ highly anticipated body horror movie has officially started in the UK. The movie will debut in theaters on September 11, 2026, as part of the DC Universe’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters saga.
What do the Clayface set photos show?
Shared on X, the set photos provide fans with a first look at Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries‘ unrecognizable transformation into the titular DC villain. He can be seen wearing face prosthetics, teasing the movie’s dark tone and how horrific the character will look once he transforms into his complete form. Fans have expressed their excitement to seeing horror elements in the photos..
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.
