James Gunn’s Clayface hit theaters on October 23, 2026, just in time for spooky season. The DC Comics body-horror film is part of the DC Universe (DCU), alongside other films and television shows, including Superman, Supergirl, Peacemaker, Lanterns, Creature Commandos and Man of Tomorrow. Produced by James Gunn and starring Naomi Ackie and Tom Rhys Harries, Clayface follows Matt Hagan, a Gotham City actor who is disfigured by mob boss Markos Szabo after crossing him. Desperate to regain his old life, Hagan volunteers for an experimental nanocell skin-graft therapy developed by Dr. Caitlyn Corr. After the experiment goes horribly wrong, Hagan goes on a revenge quest to get back at those who have wronged him while dealing with the uncontrollable side effects of his new form and body.
The film’s screenplay was written by Mike Flanagan, who is the creator of Carrie (2026) and the writer of The Haunting of Hill House. Hossein Amini (Obi-Wan Kenobi and Snow White and the Huntsman) also co-wrote the screenplay.
After Superman’s release last year, fans wondered what the future of the DCU looked like, especially with James Gunn taking over. Gunn is the co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios. He made the move to DC after writing and directing several Marvel projects, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Supergirl (2026), starring Milly Alcock, was released in June of this year and grossed over $126 million at the box office. Now, Clayface is another DCU hit. The film has officially surpassed $100 million at the global box office. It is set to become one of the most profitable films in franchise history, with a $40 million production budget.
Different from previous DC films, fans gravitated towards Clayface because of the plot and body horror element. @DiscussingFilm recently shared a first look at the practical suit used in the film on X.
So, what’s next for Clayface and the DCU? Clayface is part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters series, and Man of Tomorrow is set to release in July 2027. David Corenswet (Clark Kent/Superman) and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) are set to return. While DC Studios hasn’t announced a standalone Clayface 2 film, James Gunn has teased the character’s possible appearance in upcoming projects.
Catch Clayface, starring Naomi Ackie and Tom Rhys Harries, in theaters now. Superman, Supergirl, Lanterns, Peacemaker and Creature Commandos are available to stream on HBO Max.
