DC’s Clayface Movie Gets Surprisingly Soon Release Date Days After Being Announced

As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for comic book adaptations and a soft spot for DC’s rogue gallery, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming Clayface movie! With Mike Flanagan at the helm, a master of horror and suspense, this film is shaping up to be a chilling, visually stunning masterpiece.

Just recently, news broke about the upcoming Clayface movie, with DC Studios setting a release date – September 11, 2026 – as reported by The Wrap. Renowned filmmaker Mike Flanagan is penning the script and collaborating with Matt Reeves, director of ‘The Batman’, and Lynn Harris in production. Filming for the movie is expected to start sometime in 2025, and no cast has been disclosed yet. Interestingly, the Clayface movie’s release date aligns closely with that of The Batman 2, which is currently scheduled for October 2, 2026. This swift announcement by DC Studios comes as a pleasant surprise.

Mike Flanagan has expressed his desire to create a Clayface movie on multiple occasions throughout the years, and as far back as 2023, he revealed that he had presented a script for the film. The prospect of Flanagan’s involvement in the project is particularly enticing given his impressive resume, which includes masterpieces such as The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, and more. Furthermore, knowing that Flanagan will be penning the script helps alleviate any concerns about releasing it so close to The Batman 2. The film’s release date being Halloween 2026 might hint at Flanagan capitalizing on Clayface’s potential for body horror, which is sure to heighten fans’ anticipation.

In various DC Studios projects, Clayface is making recurring appearances, but the upcoming movie has generated the most excitement. This role seems perfectly suited to Flanagan’s expertise, and the fact that he’s been working on it for years underscores the attention he’s given to the project. DC Studios appears unfazed by releasing both Clayface and The Batman 2 within a short timeframe, which highlights their confidence in the Clayface film.

This recent turn of events leaves us questioning the type of movie “Clayface” will embody. With appearances in “Creature Commandos,” hints in “The Penguin,” a role in the “Harley Quinn” animated series, and a cameo in “Batman: Caped Crusader,” it’s unclear which iteration of the character we’ll see or if a new one will be introduced. Initially, fans speculated that Clayface might serve as a villain in “The Batman 2,” but with two movies premiering so close together, this possibility now seems unlikely. As we await its Fall 2026 release, there’s certainly reason for fans to feel excited about the future of Clayface.

Clayface begins filming in 2025 and will be released on September 11, 2026.
