A new batch of set photos for DC Studios‘ highly anticipated body horror movie led by Kandahar’s Tom Rhys Harries, Clayface, has arrived online. Like James Gunn’s recently released Superman movie, the live-action Clayface movie is also a part of the DC Universe’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters saga, which was first announced back in January 2023.
What is shown in the new Clayface set photos?
Shared on X, the behind-the-scenes photos continue to give fans a glimpse of the DCU’s version of Gotham City. Most of the set photos show a nightclub called Club Vesuvius. In the comics, the club is owned by a former mobster named Johnny Sabatino.

This would be the second time that the fan-favorite DC villain’s existence in the DCU was teased on the set of Clayface. At the moment, it remains unknown if these Joker easter eggs would be significant to the upcoming movie’s story.

— widow (@whitewidow616) September 9, 2025The Clayface movie is being directed by James Watkins, who is known for his work on Speak No Evil. The screenplay was written by Mike Flanagan. Based on the character created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane for DC Comics, the titular DC character is best known as a fan-favorite Batman villain who has shapeshifting abilities. Described as a body horror thriller, the adaptation will reportedly feature “a Hollywood horror tale centering on a B-movie actor who injects himself with a substance to keep himself relevant.”
According to DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, he and Matt Reeves were blown away by Harries’s audition. Before landing his high-profile project as the lead, the Welsh actor had supporting roles in movies like 2019’s The Gentlemen and 2023’s Kandahar. He also appeared in British shows such as Suspicion, The Split, and Doctor Who.
The movie will debut in theaters on September 11, 2026.
