Warner Bros. and DC Studios' standalone "Clayface" movie has been set for a September 11, 2026 theatrical release.
The time frame is taking hold during the famed post-Labor Day gold mine weekend for Warner Bros. with such movies as the "It", "The Nun" and "Beetlejuice" franchises.
Producing are DC co-bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran as well as "The Batman" filmmaker Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris. EP is Chantal Nong.
Written by "Doctor Sleep" filmmaker Mike Flanagan, "Clayface" is reportedly being conceived as a horror-thriller tragedy. He won’t be painted as a villain which has been his reputation, notoriously a villain to Batman.
"Clayface" got his DC introduction as part of Detective Comics #40 in June of 1940.
The original Clayface was a moderately successful actor who adopted the identity of a character he’d portrayed in a horror pic after turning to crime.
He has a body seemingly made out of clay and has appeared over the years in various films, television series, animated works, video games and other forms of media.
Also hitting the schedule is DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s original project, "Dynamic Duo" on June 30, 2028, in Imax.
It’s the origin story of the Robins aka Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
The movie marks the first joint project between DC Studios and the Bill Damaschke-led WBPA.
It is directed by Arthur Mintz and written by Matthew Aldrich.
Producers are Theresa Andersson, Reeves and Harris. Gunn and Safran are producing as well with Nong as EP.
Other DC Studios holds on the calendar include July 11 for Superman, 2025; May 29, 2026 for an untitled movie; June 26, 2026 for Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Oct. 2, 2026 for Reeves’ The Batman 2; and March 5, 2027 for an untitled movie.
