Clayface: Everything You Need to Know — Including How to Watch in Spanish
DC Studios is about to release a superhero movie that barely looks like a superhero movie.
There is no heroic team assembling.
No world-ending beam shooting into the sky.
No colorful army waiting for a final battle.
Instead, Clayface is an R-rated body-horror movie about a young actor whose face is destroyed, whose body is transformed and whose desperate attempt to reclaim his identity slowly turns him into one of Gotham City's most disturbing monsters.
The movie opens in U.S. theaters on October 23, 2026.
Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen, a rising Hollywood actor who goes from Gotham street kid to leading man before a crime boss leaves him horribly disfigured.
With his career destroyed and the people around him abandoning him, Matt agrees to an experimental treatment.
At first, it appears miraculous.
His face returns.
Then his body begins changing.
So does his mind.
DC Studios describes the movie as Matt Hagen's horrifying transformation from Hollywood star into a revenge-driven monster as the treatment that restores his appearance also begins destroying his grip on reality.
Clayface is directed by James Watkins, filmmaker behind Speak No Evil and The Woman in Black, from a screenplay by acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini.
And for Spanish-speaking audiences in the United States, we already have definitive confirmation:
Clayface will be available Doblada en Español.
Cinemark has created a separate official listing for:
[En Español] Clayface.
Harkins is even more explicit:
Clayface [doblado en Español].
And TheaterEars currently lists Clayface — Available 10/23/26 in its upcoming releases.
Here is everything you need to know.
When Does Clayface Come Out?
Clayface opens in U.S. theaters on:
October 23, 2026.
International releases begin on October 21 in selected markets.
Warner Bros. and DC Studios currently describe the film as an exclusive theatrical release.
Advance screenings begin at some U.S. theaters on Thursday, October 22. Cinemark, for example, already lists October 22 preview showtimes ahead of the official Friday release.
What Is Clayface About?
Matt Hagen begins the story with something most people in Gotham probably never achieve:
he makes it out.
He grows up on the streets of Gotham.
Then he becomes an actor.
His career takes off.
Eventually, Matt becomes a Hollywood leading man.
And then everything disappears.
A local crime boss brutally disfigures him.
His career collapses.
The people who benefited from his fame disappear.
And Matt becomes desperate enough to try an experimental medical procedure that promises to restore his appearance.
It works.
For a while.
Matt gets his face back.
But the treatment has consequences.
His body begins changing into something unnatural.
His identity becomes unstable.
And his increasingly fragile psychological state sends him toward revenge.
Warner Bros. describes the movie as a descent from rising movie star to monster, centered on the loss of identity, destructive love and the dangerous consequences of scientific ambition.
Who Is Clayface?
Clayface is one of Batman's oldest recurring enemies.
But unlike:
The Joker,
The Penguin,
The Riddler,
or Two-Face,
Clayface is not necessarily one person.
DC says that eight different characters have officially used the Clayface identity in comics over the decades.
Different versions have had different origins.
Different personalities.
Different powers.
But the modern idea most audiences recognize is a being whose body can behave like living clay.
Clayface can:
change shape,
imitate other people,
alter his appearance,
increase his size,
and survive physical damage that would kill a normal person.
DC officially describes Clayface as a nearly indestructible shapeshifter with abilities including shape-changing, duplication and enhanced strength.
Which Clayface Is in the 2026 Movie?
The movie uses:
Matt Hagen.
Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen / Clayface.
Comic fans may notice something interesting here.
Some aspects of the movie's storyline—the actor, Hollywood fame and obsession with appearance—have historically been associated with other versions of Clayface, particularly Basil Karlo.
But DC's film deliberately centers Matt Hagen.
That allows Mike Flanagan, James Watkins and the filmmakers to combine familiar Clayface ideas into a new DCU interpretation rather than simply reproducing one comic storyline panel by panel.
Who Plays Clayface?
Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen.
This is by far the largest movie role of Harries' career.
He has previously appeared in projects including:
White Lines
The Gentlemen
Suspicion
and
The Return.
But Clayface asks him to carry a major DC Studios movie while spending significant portions of it under elaborate prosthetics and effects.
Harries has described the transformation work as physically intense, including some especially uncomfortable practical-effects sequences. The Guardian reported that despite all the visual effects and body horror, Harries viewed Matt's vulnerability, ambition and rage as the emotional foundation of the role.
Who Is Caitlyn Corr?
Naomi Ackie plays Caitlyn Corr.
Caitlyn is closely connected to the experimental science that transforms Matt.
She is a scientist whose controversial treatment offers Matt something he desperately wants:
his original face.
But that breakthrough leads directly toward the transformation that eventually creates Clayface.
Rotten Tomatoes officially lists Ackie as Caitlyn Corr.
The relationship between Matt and Caitlyn also appears to become personal, which makes the consequences of the experiment more complicated than a simple “mad scientist creates monster” story.
Who Is Naomi Ackie?
Naomi Ackie has appeared in:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
I Wanna Dance with Somebody
Blink Twice
and
Mickey 17.
Her recent work has increasingly moved toward darker and stranger material.
In Clayface, she plays the scientist at the center of a medical breakthrough that goes horribly wrong.
Ackie has discussed her growing interest in horror and the genre's ability to explore deeper ideas through extreme imagery.
Who Plays John Borrelli?
Max Minghella plays John Borrelli.
The character is connected to Gotham law enforcement and becomes part of the investigation surrounding Matt's increasingly violent transformation.
Official cast materials list Minghella as John Borrelli.
Minghella is widely known for:
The Handmaid's Tale
and
The Social Network.
Who Else Is in the Clayface Cast?
The principal cast includes:
Tom Rhys Harries — Matt Hagen / Clayface
Naomi Ackie — Caitlyn Corr
Max Minghella — John Borrelli
David Dencik
Eddie Marsan
Nancy Carroll
Joshua James
Ruby Sear — Theresa
Francesca Corney
Wil Coban
Sonita Henry
Warner Bros. officially highlights Harries, Ackie, Dencik, Minghella, Marsan, Carroll and James among the principal ensemble.
Who Directed Clayface?
Clayface is directed by James Watkins.
Watkins previously directed:
The Woman in Black
Eden Lake
and
the 2024 remake of Speak No Evil.
That résumé immediately tells you something important.
DC did not hire a traditional blockbuster director and then ask them to add horror elements.
They hired a horror director.
That distinction is important because DC Studios has repeatedly positioned Clayface as a horror movie that happens to exist inside a comic-book universe rather than a conventional superhero movie with scary scenes.
Mike Flanagan Wrote the Original Clayface Story
The original story comes from Mike Flanagan.
Flanagan has become one of modern horror's most acclaimed filmmakers through projects including:
The Haunting of Hill House
Midnight Mass
Doctor Sleep
The Fall of the House of Usher
and
The Life of Chuck.
He wrote the story for Clayface and shares screenplay credit with Hossein Amini.
Flanagan had publicly expressed interest in making a Clayface movie before the project existed.
Eventually, he pitched the idea to DC Studios.
The project moved forward, but Flanagan's existing directing commitments prevented him from directing it himself.
James Watkins ultimately took over as director.
What Inspired the New Clayface Movie?
One major influence is one of the most acclaimed Clayface stories ever produced:
Batman: The Animated Series — “Feat of Clay.”
The two-part episode reinvented Matt Hagen as an actor whose dependence on an experimental substance eventually transforms him into Clayface.
The Associated Press reports that the new film draws inspiration from “Feat of Clay” while expanding the concept into an R-rated psychological and body-horror story.
That influence makes sense.
For many viewers, Batman: The Animated Series created the definitive modern version of the character.
Is Clayface a Horror Movie?
Yes.
Not “sort of.”
Not simply a dark superhero movie.
DC describes Clayface as a:
horror thriller.
DC's own overview of its upcoming universe previously explained that Clayface was designed to demonstrate how different DC movies could be from one another:
rather than another traditional superhero film, it would be a horror movie set inside the DC Universe.
The genres listed by Rotten Tomatoes include:
Horror,
Mystery & Thriller,
Action,
Crime,
and Drama.
What Is Body Horror?
If you have been reading about Clayface, you have probably seen the phrase:
body horror.
Body horror focuses on frightening or disturbing changes to the human body.
Examples can include:
mutation,
disease,
transformation,
distortion,
loss of bodily control,
or the body becoming something no longer recognizably human.
Classic body-horror movies include:
The Fly
Videodrome
The Thing
and
The Brood.
Clayface is almost perfectly designed for that genre.
His superpower is also his nightmare.
Matt's body stops being fixed.
His face stops being permanent.
His physical identity becomes unstable.
A conventional superhero movie might treat shape-shifting as an exciting ability.
A horror movie asks:
What would it actually feel like if your flesh stopped obeying the rules of the human body?
How Graphic Is Clayface?
Very likely more graphic than the average DC movie.
The film is officially rated R for:
Strong bloody violence
Gore
Language
Some nudity
Brief drug use
That alone distinguishes it from most modern DC theatrical releases.
The trailers also emphasize physical transformation rather than hiding it.
James Gunn has described the movie's body-horror influences openly, and the filmmakers have leaned into practical effects wherever possible.
What Is Clayface Rated?
Clayface is officially:
Rated R.
The MPA reasons are:
strong bloody violence, gore, language, some nudity and brief drug use.
That makes it clearly intended for adult and older-teen audiences.
Is Clayface Appropriate for Kids?
For younger children:
probably not.
This is an R-rated horror movie.
The rating is not simply because characters swear.
The movie includes:
bloody violence,
gore,
disturbing transformation imagery,
medical experimentation,
body horror,
and psychological deterioration.
Parents who usually bring children to Superman or Batman movies should not automatically assume that a DC Studios logo means a similar experience.
Clayface is intentionally designed to be something very different.
How Long Is Clayface?
Clayface runs:
1 hour and 48 minutes.
Both Rotten Tomatoes and Cinemark list a runtime of 108 minutes.
That is relatively compact compared with many modern comic-book movies.
The film does not appear interested in becoming a three-hour mythology lesson.
It is primarily telling Matt Hagen's transformation story.
Is Clayface Part of the DC Universe?
Yes.
This is important.
Clayface is officially part of the new shared DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
DC itself has described the movie as a horror film set in the DC Universe.
It is therefore part of the same broader continuity as projects such as:
Superman
Creature Commandos
Peacemaker
Lanterns
and
Supergirl.
That doesn't mean you need to watch those projects first.
But Matt Hagen exists inside that larger world.
Is Clayface Part of Robert Pattinson's Batman Universe?
No.
This is where things can get confusing because Matt Reeves is a producer on Clayface.
Reeves directed The Batman and is continuing his separate Batman crime saga.
But DC Studios has been clear that Clayface belongs to the DCU, not Matt Reeves' separate Batman universe. DC's own overview distinguishes its shared-universe projects from Reeves' Batman films.
So:
Robert Pattinson's Batman universe = separate.
Clayface = main DC Universe.
Matt Reeves producing the film does not merge the two continuities.
Why Is Matt Reeves Producing Clayface?
Because Reeves' company 6th & Idaho is one of the production companies behind the film.
The official credits list producers:
Matt Reeves
Lynn Harris
James Gunn
and
Peter Safran.
That gives the movie an interesting combination of creative influences.
Mike Flanagan brings horror storytelling.
James Watkins brings horror direction.
Matt Reeves brings experience creating a grounded Gotham.
James Gunn and Peter Safran connect the movie to the larger DCU.
Is Batman in Clayface?
DC's official marketing has not promoted Batman as part of the cast.
The movie is centered on Matt Hagen.
That is important.
Clayface has traditionally been one of Batman's enemies, but the filmmakers do not appear to be using Batman as the protagonist of this origin story.
Instead, Gotham itself provides the connection.
The movie can establish:
its criminal underworld,
its police,
its institutions,
and the environment where someone like Clayface could eventually collide with Batman.
The focus remains Matt.
Do You Need to Watch Batman Movies Before Clayface?
No.
You do not need to watch:
The Batman,
The Dark Knight,
Batman Begins,
or any previous Batman film.
You also do not need to watch another DCU project first.
Clayface is designed as its own origin story.
The most useful optional preparation may actually be Batman: The Animated Series.
DC itself recommends the two-part “Feat of Clay” episode for viewers interested in one of the best dramatic interpretations of Clayface.
Why Isn't Clayface Basil Karlo?
Comic readers may be surprised that the movie uses Matt Hagen instead of Basil Karlo.
Basil was the original Clayface.
He debuted in Detective Comics #40 in 1940 as an actor who became a serial killer while wearing the mask of a horror-film character.
Matt Hagen became the second major Clayface.
Over decades of comics, animation and adaptations, elements of different Clayfaces have frequently blended together.
The movie appears comfortable doing the same thing.
This Matt Hagen is an actor.
He is obsessed with restoring his appearance.
His transformation gives him shape-shifting abilities.
Those elements allow the filmmakers to create a version recognizable to fans without reproducing one continuity exactly.
What Are Clayface's Powers?
Traditionally, Clayface can reshape his living-clay body almost at will.
DC lists his primary abilities as:
shape-changing
duplication
and
enhanced strength.
Depending on the version, Clayface can:
imitate another person's appearance,
change height and size,
form weapons from his limbs,
stretch his body,
recover from severe physical damage,
and change his voice.
But the movie appears interested in showing those abilities first as something horrifying rather than empowering.
Matt isn't trying to become a superhero.
He wants his old face back.
What he gets is far more than he asked for.
Why Is Identity So Important to Clayface?
Because Matt's profession depends on his face.
He's an actor.
His appearance is:
his career,
his public image,
his livelihood,
and part of the way he understands himself.
Then someone destroys it.
When experimental science restores his appearance, Matt gets everything he thinks he wants.
But the treatment also makes his appearance unstable.
Now he can potentially become anyone.
Which creates a darker question:
If you can wear every face, how do you know which one is yours?
Rotten Tomatoes describes the movie as exploring the loss of identity and humanity alongside destructive love and scientific ambition.
That's what could make Clayface much more interesting than simply watching a mud monster fight people.
Who Composed the Music?
The score is by Volker Bertelmann.
Bertelmann won the Academy Award for his score for:
All Quiet on the Western Front.
He also scored projects including:
Conclave.
Warner Bros. confirms Bertelmann as the composer for Clayface.
Who Shot Clayface?
The cinematographer is Rob Hardy.
Hardy's credits include:
Ex Machina
Annihilation
Mission: Impossible – Fallout
and the DCU's Supergirl.
Warner Bros. lists Hardy as director of photography.
For a movie centered on physical transformation, lighting and texture will be especially important.
Clay shouldn't look like generic CGI.
It needs to feel:
wet,
heavy,
organic,
and uncomfortable.
Does Clayface Use Practical Effects?
The filmmakers have emphasized a mix of effects, with significant practical work involved in Matt's physical transformation.
The Associated Press reports that the movie was produced for roughly $40 million, with a strong focus on character, practical effects and horror rather than the scale of a typical $200 million superhero spectacle.
That smaller budget could actually work in the movie's favor.
Clayface doesn't need hundreds of digital heroes.
It needs one transformation to feel horrible.
Where Was Clayface Filmed?
Production took place primarily in the United Kingdom, including significant location work in Liverpool, which was transformed into parts of Gotham City.
Production also used Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
Liverpool architecture has frequently been used to represent Gotham because its older buildings can convincingly create the city's gothic urban atmosphere.
The result allows DC Studios to expand its version of Gotham before its new Batman gets a solo movie.
Is Clayface Connected to Creature Commandos?
Clayface has already existed within the wider DC Universe through Creature Commandos.
But the new movie is specifically telling the origin of Matt Hagen's Clayface.
You should not need to watch Creature Commandos to understand the movie.
DC Studios' approach allows characters to appear across animation and live action while remaining part of the same broader universe.
For viewers who only want the movie:
you can start here.
Is Clayface a Superhero Movie?
Technically it is a DC comic-book adaptation.
But calling it simply a superhero movie is probably misleading.
There is no superhero in the title.
The protagonist becomes a Batman villain.
The movie is rated R.
The central genre is horror.
And the story appears to focus much more on:
identity,
transformation,
revenge,
obsession,
and science gone wrong
than traditional superheroics.
DC has explicitly used Clayface as an example of how its shared universe can contain very different genres.
Does Clayface Have Reviews Yet?
Not yet in a meaningful aggregate.
As of October 18, 2026, Rotten Tomatoes lists:
0 critic reviews
and
0 verified audience ratings.
The movie does not officially open until October 23.
Early press screenings and premiere reactions have begun appearing, but there is not yet a reliable aggregate critical score.
That means any article currently claiming a definitive Rotten Tomatoes consensus is getting ahead of the data.
We will have a much clearer picture closer to opening day.
How to Watch Clayface in Spanish
This part is already confirmed.
Clayface will be available Doblada en Español in U.S. theaters.
We have confirmation from multiple sources.
Cinemark Has [En Español] Clayface
Cinemark has created a dedicated official page titled:
[En Español] Clayface.
It lists:
Release Date: October 23, 2026
Runtime: 1 hour 48 minutes
Rating: R
Genre: Horror
and allows viewers to search for Spanish-version showtimes by ZIP code.
That is definitive confirmation that Cinemark is scheduling a separate Spanish-language version.
Harkins Has Clayface Doblado en Español
Harkins provides even clearer language.
Its upcoming movie listings include:
Clayface [doblado en Español].
And individual Harkins theaters already have confirmed Spanish-dubbed screenings.
For example, Harkins Bricktown in Oklahoma City lists:
Clayface [doblado en Español]
with dedicated digital showtimes alongside the regular English presentation.
That means this is not merely a subtitled presentation.
The spoken dialogue is available in Spanish.
Is Clayface Spanish Dubbed or Just Subtitled?
There is a full Spanish dub.
The clearest evidence is Harkins' exact wording:
doblado en Español.
Cinemark separately labels the version:
[En Español] Clayface.
So if you're searching for:
Clayface in Spanish
Clayface Spanish Dubbed
Clayface Dubbed in Spanish
Clayface En Español
or
Clayface Doblada en Español
you already have confirmed theatrical options.
Can You Watch Clayface in Spanish with TheaterEars?
TheaterEars also publicly lists:
Clayface — Available 10/23/26.
Its Spanish-language cartelera similarly lists:
Clayface — Disponible 10/23/26.
That gives Spanish-speaking audiences another potential way to watch.
For supported TheaterEars movies, the Spanish audio is delivered privately through the viewer's phone and headphones while the theater continues playing its normal soundtrack.
Because October 23 is still in the future as of this article's October 18 update, users should confirm the live Clayface track inside TheaterEars once the movie becomes available.
Dedicated Spanish Showing vs. TheaterEars
There are two different ways to approach Clayface in Spanish.
Choose a Dedicated Spanish-Dubbed Screening If:
Everyone in your group wants Spanish.
You want Spanish dialogue through the theater's speaker system.
You can find a convenient [En Español] or Doblado en Español showtime.
You do not want to wear headphones.
Choose TheaterEars If:
Some members of your group prefer English while others prefer Spanish.
You want to attend a regular English-language screening.
You want Spanish privately through your headphones.
The Clayface track is available in your app for that showing.
That second option can be particularly useful for bilingual families and groups.
Can One Person Watch Clayface in Spanish While Everyone Else Hears English?
With TheaterEars, that is the idea.
The auditorium continues playing its standard soundtrack.
The TheaterEars user listens privately through headphones.
That means a bilingual group does not necessarily need to divide itself between:
an English showtime
and
a Spanish showtime.
Everyone can attend together while individual viewers select the language they prefer.
Does Clayface Have Spanish Subtitles?
Language options vary by theater.
The existence of a dedicated Spanish dub is already confirmed.
Individual theaters may additionally offer:
Spanish subtitles,
closed captions,
or accessibility options.
If you want spoken Spanish rather than text, look specifically for:
Doblado en Español
Spanish Spoken
Spanish Dubbed
or
[En Español].
Is Clayface Streaming?
Not yet.
The official Clayface website says:
Only in Theaters October 23.
Warner Bros. has not announced a streaming date that should currently be treated as definitive.
So if you want to see Clayface when it first releases:
the theater is the confirmed option.
Will Clayface Be on HBO Max?
Because Clayface is a Warner Bros./DC Studios theatrical movie, an eventual Warner streaming window would be logical.
But no specific HBO Max date should be presented as confirmed until Warner Bros. announces it.
For now:
October 23 = movie theaters.
Will There Be More Clayface After This Movie?
Very possibly.
DC Studios has created Matt Hagen as part of its shared universe rather than as a one-off Elseworlds character.
Recent comments from James Gunn also indicate that DC has plans to continue using the character beyond this movie.
That opens possibilities for Clayface to appear in:
future Gotham stories,
another DCU movie,
television,
or eventually opposite the DC Universe's Batman.
But specific future appearances should not be treated as confirmed until DC formally announces them.
Why Clayface Could Be One of DC's Most Important Movies
Not because Clayface is more famous than Superman.
He isn't.
Not because this is the biggest DC movie ever made.
It isn't.
The movie may matter because it tests an idea.
Can a shared superhero universe support movies that aren't traditional superhero movies at all?
Can one DC release be science fiction?
Another fantasy?
Another detective noir?
Another comedy?
And then another be an R-rated horror movie?
That is potentially far more interesting than forcing every character into the same tone.
Clayface is a perfect experiment.
A shapeshifting monster from Batman comics already belongs in horror.
The strange thing would be pretending he doesn't.

Clayface Could Be Exactly What a Comic-Book Movie Should Be
Clayface has always presented filmmakers with a problem.
If you make him realistic, he stops being Clayface.
A man made of living mud who can transform his body into almost anything is inherently ridiculous.
But if you think about that ability for more than a few seconds—
it is also horrifying.
Your face melts.
Your fingers stop being fingers.
Your body no longer has a permanent shape.
You look into a mirror and don't necessarily know which version of yourself is real.
That is the opportunity Mike Flanagan apparently saw.
Instead of asking:
How do we make Clayface work in a superhero movie?
the filmmakers seem to have asked:
Why aren't we making a horror movie?
Matt Hagen doesn't begin this story wanting superpowers.
He wants his life back.
He wants his face back.
He wants to be the man people once saw on movie screens.
Science gives him that face.
And then it gives him every face.
The very thing that appears to restore his identity ultimately destroys his ability to know what his identity even is.
That makes Clayface potentially more than another Batman-villain origin story.
It's a movie about:
celebrity,
appearance,
vanity,
identity,
rage,
rejection,
and what happens when the desire to become who you used to be turns you into something else entirely.
And for Spanish-speaking audiences, the options are already unusually strong before opening day.

and be terrified of what you see.
