By Molly Templeton | Published on June 17, 2025 Image: Disney+ Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Disney+ Clayface will be led by a somewhat unfamiliar face. DC Studios has tapped Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries to star in the next big DC Comics film—up next on the movie release schedule after Superman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. On Bluesky, Gunn said “After a long and incredibly exhaustive search, we finally have our DCU Clayface in Tom Rhys Harries. Both Matt Reeves and I were just blown away by this guy, and can’t wait for you to see this film, directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan.” Harries has an interesting resume with lots of series appearances, including single episodes of Doctor Who (he played Ricky September in “Dot and Bubble,” pictured above), Midsomer Murders, and Chewing Gum. He was in a 2015 Jekyll and Hyde miniseries; the British series Suspicion, which starred Uma Thurman; and most recently provided a voice in the animated series Wolf King. In 2012, he was named one of Screen International’s Stars of Tomorrow. According to Deadline, several rather more familiar British actors were also in the running for the role, including Jack O’Connell (Sinners) and Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes). As the creative team of Mike Flanagan and James Watkins (Speak No Evil) suggests, the movie is expected to be a bit more horror-leaning than previous incarnations of the character, like Alan Tudyk’s very entertaining take on him in Harley Quinn. Clayface has been a villain, but last year, sources told Deadline that this film wouldn’t present him as one. Clayface is expected in theaters on September 11, 2026.[end-mark] The post DC Studios Has Found Their Clayface appeared first on Reactor.
