New 'Clayface' trailer | DCU Studios

If you’ve ever read a Batman comic featuring Clayface, you’ll have a clear image in your mind of Gotham’s gloopiest baddie: a hulking mass of malleable flesh, more all-out monster than man. The character is at the heart of the next DCU movie, Clayface – a comic book horror outing, in which Tom Rhys Harries’ actor Matt Hagen takes on a seriously experimental procedure after his face is scarred in a brutal attack. Safe to say, his face (and the rest of him) does not fare well, with icky body-horror results.

For now, the Clayface trailers have teased Hagen’s mug oozing and melting and falling out of shape – but all our glimpses so far at the character have remained recognisably humanoid. But by the sounds of it, Clayface will be going, well… full-Clayface – you just won’t see it until you’re in the cinema. “It’s fricking sick!” Rhys Harries promises Empire of his final form.

With body-horror influences ranging from The Fly to The Substance, director James Watkins – behind Eden Lake, and the Speak No Evil remake – promises nothing will be held back. “When we were at San Diego Comic-Con, people were like, ‘I hope you don’t go soft.’ And I’m like, ‘Trust me, we don’t go soft’,” he says. “But at the same time, there is that line. It’s a ride. It’s fun. It’s not torture. It’s a rollercoaster.” The countdown to full-Clayface begins now.

So weird the way his name is always brought up. I never hear Kevin Feige's MCU.
