- Quick Answer: DC Studios released the final trailer for Clayface, teasing actor Matt Hagen’s dark body horror transformation in the DCU ahead of its October release.
DC Studios has released the final trailer for Clayface, giving fans the best look at the titular Batman villain's final transformation.
The DCU franchise is entering its body horror era in the upcoming film, which will explore the origins of the fan-favorite Batman villain. While it remains to be seen how it will connect to the rest of the DCU moving forward, fans are looking forward to seeing how it will depict Matt Hagan's transformation into a clay-like figure.
Clayface Releases Final Trailer
Ahead of its theatrical release next month, DC Studios unveiled the final trailer for Clayface, offering more footage of the upcoming DCU film.
The biggest highlight is the extended look at Matt Hagen's transformation into the horrific villain we know and love, especially the struggles that he will go through.
While it didn't give a full preview of the villain's final look, it gave enough of a tease to excite fans, and it's clear that they are resisting including any footage of the character's clay-like figure (except his back) until the film is watched by audiences in theaters.
The trailer also suggested a very different tone for the film from any of the previous DCU projects released so far, since it has a dark and moody atmosphere we don't usually see in modern comic book movies.
Despite the absence of familiar Batman elements (except the Gotham City setting), it still looks exciting for fans who have been looking forward to seeing the DCU enter the horror territory, and the footage they've shown has been promising.
Following the disappointing box office performance of Supergirl, there is strong hope that Clayface will put the DCU back on track on the theatrical side.
What Is Clayface About?
DC Studios' Clayface will unravel one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.
The cast includes Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll, and Joshua James. James Watkins directed the film, while Mike Flanagan co-wrote the screenplay with Hossein Amini.
The DCU film is slated for release in theaters on October 23, 2026. James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Matt Reeves are involved as producers.
