DC’s upcoming Clayface movie could be even scarier than we first thought as DC boss Peter Safran says he thinks the villain is more chilling than some of Batman’s most formidable foes.
"Clayface isn’t widely known as Penguin or Joker, but we think his story is as deeply resonant, thrilling and even more terrifying," said Safran to Deadline. Safran serves as the co-CEO of DC Studios alongside James Gunn.
We already had a feeling that DCU’s upcoming Clayface movie would lean more into the horror genre based on Deadline previously reporting that the movie is rumored to be a "horror-thriller-tragedy" with Clayface himself said to be unlike what we have seen in Batman media. Plus, the film has just landed director James Watkins, best known for helming last year’s horror remake Speak No Evil.
As part of DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the movie will center on some iteration of the villain, but no official synopsis has been revealed at this time. However, Mike Flanagan is penning the screenplay, with Gunn and Safran producing as well as The Batman’s Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris. As for the cast, the casting process has begun.
