James Gunn's DCU horror spin-off is a tragedy as much as it's a monster movie — a story about ambition, identity, and what happens when the people around you start seeing you as a means to an end. Answer honestly and we'll tell you which Clayface character your instincts match.

Directed by James Watkins and produced under James Gunn's DC Studios, Clayface reimagines the shapeshifting Batman villain as the centerpiece of an R-rated body-horror tragedy rather than a straightforward supervillain origin. Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen, a once-picture-perfect Hollywood star whose face is left horrifically scarred after a vicious knife attack, sending him to scientist Dr. Caitlin Bates (Naomi Ackie) for an experimental treatment with disastrous, gooey consequences.

Gunn has described the film as exploring "the loss of one's identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition," with comparisons drawn to body-horror classics like David Cronenberg's The Fly. Notably, the film's Gotham setting exists without Batman appearing on screen, a deliberate choice from director James Watkins to keep the focus squarely on Hagen's tragic transformation.

Clayface hits theaters October 23, 2026, arriving as one of the DCU's more unconventional entries under the Gunn/Safran banner — leaning into horror rather than blockbuster spectacle, in the vein of DC's earlier hit The Batman. Early looks at Harries' transformation sequences have generated buzz for their unsettling practical effects work.

Whether you relate to Hagen's desperate grasp for relevance or the ambition of the people who enabled his transformation, Clayface's small, tightly wound cast makes for a very different kind of superhero-adjacent personality quiz.
