DC Studios’ First‑Ever Horror Thriller — In Theaters October 23, 2026
DC Studios has released the official teaser trailer for Clayface, marking the studio’s first entry into the horror‑thriller genre. Directed by James Watkins, the film stars Tom Rhys Harries as the iconic Gotham City villain in a dark, character‑driven reimagining of one of DC’s most unsettling figures.
A Terrifying Descent Into Madness
Clayface follows the horrifying transformation of a rising Hollywood actor whose life unravels after a devastating betrayal. What begins as a story of ambition and corrosive love spirals into a monstrous tale of identity lost, humanity stripped away, and the dangerous consequences of unchecked scientific experimentation.
The film explores the psychological and physical collapse of a man consumed by vengeance — and the monstrous form that vengeance takes.
