For quite a while now, DC's head honcho James Gunn has been excitedly talking up the prospect of Clayface, which will be the third movie to debut in DC's new cinematic universe, following the big reboot of Superman and its spinoff Supergirl. In classic zany Gunn style, though, Clayface is going to be very different tonally, as proven by its first trailer, which dropped this week.
It's only a teaser, and it's only a minute long, but the trailer makes it pretty clear that the pure horror movie Gunn has been promising is indeed on the way. It'll be incredibly fascinating to see how it does with audiences, with Gunn betting that its freshness will help it stand out from the bland superhero norm. That said, of course, it should hit HBO Max pretty quickly after its run in cinemas starting on 21 October – don't be surprised if it hits streaming around Christmas.
