DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn opened up about how the Clayface film project became a reality. Written by Mike Flanagan, the film centers on the character of the same name, though little is known about the film aside from its 2026 release date. Gunn acknowledges that making Clayface for the DC Universe may seem like a strange idea, but he clarifies that the movie has a strong enough premise to justify its creation. In an interview with io9, he stated:

“I didn’t plan on making a Clayface movie. Mike came in. He pitched this wonderful idea. I was like, ‘Damn, I can’t believe you got me to want to make a Clayface movie.’ But he’s got to write the script and who knows how that’s going to work. He goes and he writes the script. First draft is great. Second draft is even better. And then I’m like, ‘Let’s do it.’ So we found a place for it because if there’s quality stuff, we can find a way to work it in.”

Gunn also addressed the rumor mill turning out potentially false reports about upcoming DC projects. The filmmaker explained:

“There are lots of things that are getting reported that I haven’t green-lit, and I haven’t said okay to. Some of those are true in terms of ‘they’re in development,’ and some of them are not true. [And just] because they’re in development, that doesn’t mean I’m going to make that movie. There’s a lot of things people seem to be counting on that it may be unwise to count on.”
