News Clayface Clayface Teaser Wants You to Know It Is a Horror Film, Thank You Very Much Not surprising given the story comes from Mike Flanagan By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 22, 2026 Photo: Warner Bros. Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Warner Bros. Studios The first teaser trailer for DC Studios’ Clayface doesn’t reveal any plot points. What it does have in spades, however, is vibes: horror vibes, to be specific; body horror vibes to get even more precise. That’s no accident: DC wants you to know that the film, written by horror mastermind Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, The Fall of the House of Usher) and Hossein Amini, and directed by James Watkins (Speak No Evil), is very much of that genre. Here’s the official logline, which is pretty much all we know so far about the story the film tells: Clayface unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition. That one man is Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries. We see him in the teaser in various forms. First (assuming that’s Harries under all that makeup) as a bandaged man with bulging eyes in a hospital bed, then as a slick-dressed dude running down a dark alley, and finally as a man watching his face glop off his skull in various locales, including a bathtub. Something (everything!) isn’t right with this picture! In addition to Harries, the film stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll, and Joshua James. What roles are they playing? We don’t know yet! Clayface releases in theaters on October 26, 2026. Check out today’s teaser below.
