While the DCEU (which is streaming with a Max subscription) ended with Aquaman 2, co-CEO James Gunn is forming a brand new DC Universe. One of the many upcoming DC movies is the Clayface flick, which James Watkins is expected to direct.

Safran has characterized the “Clayface” movie as a “body horror film.” Gunn previously said DC Studios hopes the movie “works as a pure horror movie for somebody who doesn’t care at all about DC.” Warner Bros. has dated “Clayface” for release on Sept. 11, 2026.

James Gunn has shut down casting rumors yet again after it emerged that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was being considered to play Batman villain Clayface. In fact, the DC Studios head has confirmed they haven't even begun casting the movie yet.

James Gunn took to social media to shoot down a wild rumor that Daniel Radcliffe is officially joining the DCU as a famed Batman villain.
