Official Trailer
《Clayface》 is a horror thriller from DC Studios that follows the downfall of Matt Hagen, who grew up on the streets of Gotham and became a Hollywood leading man. After a criminal kingpin's attack severely disfigures his face, Matt loses both his life as an actor and the identity he worked so hard to build in an instant.
Abandoned, Matt places his last hope in an advanced treatment that promises to restore his appearance. The treatment brings his face back but also triggers unexpected changes, and as he loses his grip on reality, he becomes consumed by revenge against those who destroyed him. The trailer puts physical transformation and psychological collapse front and center.
James Watkins directs, with Tom Rhys Harries starring as Matt Hagen. The screenplay was written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, with the story developed by Flanagan. Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn, and Peter Safran serve as producers.
Produced by DC Studios and 6th & Idaho, the film opens in North American theaters on October 23, 2026. International releases will roll out from October 21. While borrowing the trappings of a superhero story, the film focuses on a tragic character study in which one actor's ambition, loss, and revenge become entangled.
