James Watkins to Direct DCU's Clayface Movie

News summary

The DC Universe film Clayface, originally scripted by Mike Flanagan, is heavily inspired by the 'Feat of Clay' episode from Batman: The Animated Series. Flanagan, a noted horror director, crafted the initial script as a horror-thriller but will not direct the film, and Hossein Amini has been brought in to revise the screenplay. James Watkins is now attached as director, with the movie targeting a fall 2026 release. Flanagan expressed admiration for the animated series and hopes the final film retains the essence of his original vision. The extent of changes to the script and the film's direction remains uncertain. Both fans and Flanagan are awaiting how the new version of Clayface will fit into the DCU.
