For all the plans DC Studios has set into motion this year, we’ve been hearing the most about Clayface.
According to DC’s creative co-chairs, James Gunn and Peter Safran, there were no plans to make a Clayface movie until a script by Mike Flanagan landed on their desks.
To say nothing of the film’s confusing place in the DC Universe (is it part of Gunn’s DCU, or Matt Reeves’ Epic Crime Saga?
That’s why we’re making this movie, because we loved it.”With that misunderstanding more or less ironed out, Gunn pivoted to another major announcement.
That storyline follows an actor named Matt Hagen, who gains his shapeshifting abilities by injecting himself with a chemical called Renuyu.
