For the casual superhero movie fan, the name Clayface may not mean much. For others, it’s a silly character in HBOMax’s Harley Quinn animated series, or if you’re a diehard DC Comics fan, you’d know him as a cult favorite villain from Gotham’s rogues gallery. By the end of the year, a new swarm of fans may exist for charismatic character as DC Studios’ is finally releasing his standalone film.
“DC Studios’ Clayface is a horror thriller from director James Watkins, starring Tom Rhys Harries in the title role. Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge. The film also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, as well as Nancy Carroll and Joshua James.”
