James Gunn Denies Daniel Radcliffe Clayface Casting Rumor

James Gunn has dismissed rumors that Daniel Radcliffe would play the titular character in the upcoming DCU film 'Clayface', stating that the casting process has not yet begun as director James Watkins has yet to finalize his deal. Gunn emphasized on Threads that while Radcliffe is a talented actor, he has not been considered for the role, labeling the rumors as '100% false'. The film, which is set to explore a horror-thriller narrative centered on a B-list actor who transforms grotesquely, is being scripted by Mike Flanagan and is expected to have an R-rating. With a release date set for September 11, 2026, the production is anticipated to start this summer.
