Clayface Goes Full Horror: A Cronenbergian Trailer for DC’s Monster Movie

The first Clayface trailer reveals a David Cronenberg–style body-horror turn for the Batman villain in a DC Studios project run by James Gunn and Peter Safran, directed by James Watkins and starring Tom Rhys Harries alongside Naomi Ackie, with a script by Mike Flanagan. The ominous sound design and transformation-focused visuals hint that the film will lean into unsettling, gore-light body horror rather than traditional superhero fare, as Clayface's full physical menace is teased but not fully revealed, opening October 23.
