Signs that Warner Bros DC Studios is very serious about its standalone Clayface movie even though it doesn’t have a director or star yet: The studio is given the movie written by Mike Flanagan a Sept. 11, 2026 theatrical release. That’s the famed post Labor Day gold mine weekend for Warner Bros with such movies as the It, The Nun and Beetlejuice franchises.

Producing is DC co-bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran as well as The Batman filmmaker Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris. EP is Chantal Nong. Doctor Sleep filmmaker Flanagan is reportedly conceiving Clayface as a horror-thriller-tragedy. He won’t be painted as a villain which has been his reputation, notoriously a villain to Batman.

Clayface got his DC introduction as part of Detective Comics #40 in June of 1940. The original Clayface was a moderately successful actor who adopted the identity of a character he’d portrayed in a horror pic after turning to crime. Clayface has a body seemingly made out of clay and has appeared over the years in various films, television series, animated works, video games and other forms of media.

Also hitting the schedule is DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s original project, Dynamic Duo on June 30, 2028 In Imax which we first told you about. It’s the origin story of the Robins aka Dick Grayson and Jason Todd and marks the first joint project between DC Studios and the Bill Damaschke-led WBPA.

That movie is directed by Arthur Mintz and written by Matthew Aldrich. Producers are Theresa Andersson, Reeves and Harris. Gunn and Safran are producing as well with Nong as EP.

Meanwhile in other DC news, the trailer to James Gunn’s Superman is dropping early next week. That movie happens in thaters next year on July 11.

Other DC Studios holds on the calendar include May 29, 2026 for an untitled movie; June 26, 2026 for Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Oct. 2, 2026 for Reeves’ The Batman 2; and March 5, 2027 for an untitled movie.
