Audiences will have to wait a little longer to familiarize themselves with \u201cClayface,\u201d one of DC\u2019s lesser known characters. The superhero film was originally slated to hit theaters on Sept. 11. It will now move to Oct. 23.<\/p>\n
\u201cClayface,\u201d for those not steeped in all things Gotham, is a shapeshifting Batman villain. The genre has been described as a body horror, so think Cronenberg. It will be directed by James Watkins (\u201cSpeak No Evil\u201d) from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan (\u201cDoctor Sleep\u201d) and Hossein Amini (\u201cDrive\u201d). Up and comer Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen, an actor whose face is disfigured, while Naomie Ackie will play the scientist he turns to for help. James Gunn and Peter Safran, the co-heads of DC Studios, will produce alongside \u201cThe Batman\u201d director Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris. DC scored with last summer\u2019s \u201cSuperman,\u201d which critics and audiences saw as a return to form for the comic book studio after a string of disappointments like \u201cThe Flash\u201d and \u201cBlack Adam\u201d that predated Gunn and Safran\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n
\u201cClayface\u201d was originally going to square off against a new adaptation of \u201cSense and Sensibility.\u201d Now, the film will slide into the opening date vacated by another Warner Bros. release, \u201cRemain,\u201d which moved into 2027. Also premiering that weekend are an untitled Jordan Peele project from Universal, as well as the Rosamund Pike thriller \u201cWife and Dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

With \u201cClayface\u201d moving, Warner Bros. has opted to shift its sequel to \u201cPractical Magic\u201d to Sept. 11. The witchy follow-up, directed by Susanne Bier, was originally slated to debut on Sept. 18. The film brings back original stars Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock.<\/p>\n
