New set photos confirm exactly why next year’s Batman villain movie is going to be R-rated. Set to release this time next year in 2026, Clayface is set to be the first major villain-centric movie in the new DCU. Keeping that in mind, it’s evident just how dark the movie is going to get.
Starring actor Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen/Clayface, the upcoming DC movie will be directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan. Rather than being connected to Matt Reeves’ The Batman franchise, Clayface is reportedly set in the new DCU continuity. Having just begun production, new set photos show why Clayface will be the DCU’s first R-rated movie.
