According to a new report, screenwriter and director Mike Flanagan is finally getting a crack at bringing Clayface to movie theaters everywhere.
Multiple sources speaking with Variety report that the Clayface movie has been greenlit, and filming will begin early next year. Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris will be producers via their 6th & Idaho Productions company.
Flannagan reportedly met with DC Studios co-chairs James Gunn and Peter Safran and pitched them on a Clayface movie in 2023. At the time, sources said that the version of the character pitched for the story would not necessarily be a villain.
Also, relating to the report from 2023, sources made clear that the pitch was unrelated to The Batman: Part II. With Reeves serving as a producer, that will raise questions, but he was also involved with the Batman: Caped Crusader series, which was unrelated to his films.
Flanagan, who directed the Stephen King adaptation Doctor Sleep, has not been quiet about his passion for Clayface. He stated in 2021 that he was “really keen to do a standalone Clayface movie as a horror/thriller/tragedy.”
While Clayface has appeared in animated form and video games many times over, he has never jumped to a live-action theatrical film. We’ll have to wait and see if anything comes of these talks, but the character may finally be heading toward his time in the spotlight.
