DC's 'Clayface' Movie Set for September 2026 Release

Horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan is writing the script, with Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris producing the standalone film about the iconic Batman villain.

The 'Clayface' movie will release in theaters on September 11, 2026, with production scheduled to begin in 2025.
Mike Flanagan, known for acclaimed horror projects like 'The Haunting of Hill House' and 'Doctor Sleep,' is writing the script and envisions the film as a horror-thriller-tragedy.
Matt Reeves, director of 'The Batman,' and producer Lynn Harris are attached to the project, but no director or cast has been announced yet.
Clayface, a classic Batman villain introduced in 1940, is known for his shapeshifting abilities and tragic backstory, with multiple iterations of the character existing in DC Comics lore.
The film will be part of the DC Universe, separate from 'The Batman 2,' which releases just weeks later on October 2, 2026, according to James Gunn.
