Clayface DCU Movie Nears Wrap as Gunn Teases Horror Take and Lead Tom Rhys Harries

Overview

  • Tom Rhys Harries shared a social post indicating the production has entered its final week of shooting.
  • Gunn has described the movie as a horror film, with reporting suggesting a grisly tone and an expected R rating.
