James Watkins to Direct DCU's Clayface Horror Film
James Watkins has been confirmed as the director for DC Studios' upcoming horror film 'Clayface,' based on a script by Mike Flanagan. Watkins, known for his work on 'Speak No Evil' and 'The Woman in Black,' was selected after a final meeting with DC co-chief James Gunn. The film centers on Basil Karlo, a B-list Hollywood actor who becomes a shapeshifting villain after injecting himself with a mysterious substance. Scheduled for release on September 11, 2026, 'Clayface' is budgeted at $40 million and aims to expand the DC Universe by incorporating horror elements. This project is part of James Gunn's broader vision for the DCU, which will include diverse genres and standalone stories. Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris will produce the film alongside Gunn and Peter Safran.
