Watch the brand new trailer for Clayface below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Matt Hagen’s (Tom Rhys Harries) meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

Building off of the first look teaser trailer that left us in a fit of sheer dread, this brand new look at Clayface builds out the narrative and delivers Tom Rhys Harries’ aspiring actor Matt Hagen, a man on the verge of monumental success left deformed by the actions of Gotham’s mobster elite. With nowhere to turn he seeks the radical services of ‘fringe scientist’ Dr. Caitlin Corr (Naomi Ackie), whose offers a treatment that gives Matt back his look, at an unexpected cost, and leads him down a path of pure driven horror of revenge!

With Clayface, Watkins delivers a superhero film that comes radically out of left-field and very much embraces its horror chills to the core. This trailer utterly grabs you by the throat, and there are some seriously gnarly moments, including Hagen’s own ‘trimming’ that is sure to make you squirm, and while the full monster is only subtly teased…. when the final revelation is revealed, it’s going to be horrific!

This new trailer for Clayface arrives in accordance with Clayface’s debut at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, which has seen Rhys Harries making his first appearance at the Con, and the welcome be receieved was inspiring, with fans amped for the film, and the scares that await.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“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.

Directed by James Watkins directs from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, Clayface is set to tell the thus far untold story of one of Gotham City’s most legendary, and tragic figures, Clayface, with the creative team bringing an edgy new sci-fi horror style to the premise, along with a gritty, in-your-face noir element that creeps in on the idea of dreams turning into nightmare, and just how brutal beauty can cut.

Rising star Tom Rhys Harries steps into the role of aspiring actor Matt Hagen, who thanks to his shocking good looks is on the precipice of greatness, until he runs afoul of a nasty gangster, and is left mutilated, leading him into the arms of fringe scientist Dr. Caitlin Bates (Naomi Ackie), whose character has been described as an almost ‘Elizabeth Holmes type figure’, and offers him a desperate cure that leads him down a path of literal horrors as he exacts a cruel and very personal revenge.

The Batman mythos has long lead to some of the most intriguing villains as a part of the ‘Rogues Gallery’, and Clayface is no exception, and what we see here in this origin story is not only a radically different framing of classic Batman character, but also a showcase that this new DCU is not afraid to push the boundaries or change things up, and with a filmmaker as innovative as Watkins in the director’s chair, we’ll be in for something genuinely scary, and a ‘superhero’ film that will no doubt seriously unnerve it’s audience in the best way possible.
