James Watkins to Direct DC’s Clayface, A Horror-Thriller Take on the Batman Villain

James Watkins has been confirmed as the director for Clayface, DC’s upcoming horror-inspired film, scripted by Mike Flanagan. Set for release on September 11, 2026, the movie is described as a horror-thriller-tragedy, focusing on the tragic aspects of Clayface rather than portraying him as a traditional villain.

DC co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran are producing alongside The Batman director Matt Reeves, with Chantal Nong as executive producer. With Watkins attached, casting can now begin.

Watkins, known for The Woman in Black, Eden Lake, and the recent $76M hit Speak No Evil, brings strong horror credentials to the project. This move aligns with DC’s growing embrace of genre-driven storytelling, hinting at a darker, more psychological take on Batman’s world.

Further details, including casting, are expected soon.
