The Clayface Movie Is Reportedly Looking At 4 Familiar Actors For The Lead, And They're Great Choices
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After James Gunn's Superman flies onto the 2025 movies schedule next month and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow follows in June 2026, Clayface will be the next of the upcoming DC movies. Officially greenlit last December, this flick will mark the cinematic debut of the shapeshifting member of Batman's rogues gallery, and follows his DC Universe debut in the Max subscription-exclusive animated series Creature Commandos. However, rather than have Alan Tudyk reprise Clayface, someone else will inhabit the character's messy shoes on the big screen, and I like these four actors who are reportedly in consideration. If scooper MyTimeToShineHello is to be believed, George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O'Connell and Leo Woodall are all testing to play Clayface in the DCU. One of these young English actors is expected to land the role, though there's no mention of who in the quartet is looking likelier than the rest. Assuming this information is accurate, then this is an exceptional lineup of talent to choose from. More on Clayface DC's Clayface Movie Has Reportedly Hit A Setback, But There's Good News While We Wait For The Clayface Movie, There's A New Batman Story That Fans Of The Shapeshifting Villain Need To Check Out In case any or even all of these four actors are unfamiliar to you, here's a quick rundown. George MacKay is arguably best known for playing the title protagonist of 2003's Peter Pan and co-leading the 2019 World War I movie 1917 alongside Dean-Charles Chapman. Tom Blyth rose to fame playing Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and is currently leading the MGM+ series Billy the Kid. Jack O'Connell starred in Ferrari with Adam Driver and was just seen performing opposite Michael B. Jordan in Sinners. Finally, Leo Woodall appeared in The White Lotus Season 2 and appeared alongside Renée Zellweger earlier this year in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Feel free to do deeper dives into their resumes on your own. The point being, I certainly wouldn't mind if one of these four actors was selected to play Clayface. Whether it's MacKay, Blyth, O'Connell, Woodall or maybe even someone who hasn't been revealed yet, they will be the fourth actor to portray this villain in live action, as Clayface was previously played by Kirk Baltz on Birds of Prey, Brian McManamon on Gotham, and Lorraine Burroughs on Pennyworth. The Clayface movie has been described as a 'Hollywood horror story' about a B-movie actor who takes a substance that's meant to keep him relevant, but turns him into a clay monstrosity. Meaning, we're almost certainly getting the Basil Karlo incarnation of Clayface given his acting background, though I suppose he could also be merged with Matt Hagen like Batman: The Animated Series did. Either way, what I'm curious about is if these one of these actors will be playing Clayface in his original form, or is this meant to be the idealized version of himself. We'll find out as we move closer and closer to Clayface's September 11, 2026 drop in theaters. James Watkins is directing the DCU movie, and although Mike Flanagan penned the original screenplay, Hossein Amini is now rewriting it.

This is the first time we've worked with the middle school and we wanted to be able to support them,' Perrine said. 'It really is a day where you can come and be judgement free, and also Halloween costumes deserve more than one wear.

AC/DC's Electrifying Single Is A Top 10 Hit Again On Every U.S. Chart
AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' hits 520 weeks on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart and scores top ... More 10 spots across three U.S. rankings this week. Brian Johnson and Angus Young, both of the group AC/DC, film the 'Thunderstruck' music video, Brixton Academy, London, 8/17/1990. (Photo by) 'Thunderstruck' is a hit for the ages — the type of smash most musical acts can only dream of. It wasn't just a massive success when it first arrived, but it has also stood the test of time. 35 years into its lifetime, the electrifying cut continues to keep AC/DC on charts around the world. This week, the song ranks as a powerful bestseller on several Billboard tallies. 'Thunderstruck' currently appears on three U.S.-based rankings, and amazingly, even after three and a half decades of success, the tune secures a top 10 position on all of them. The single performs best on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it nearly rules once again, shooting from No. 5 to No. 2. It also becomes a top 10 bestseller once more on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally, returning to the uppermost tier as it thunders from No. 15 to No. 9. The single typically performs best in terms of pure purchases, but Americans also love streaming 'Thunderstruck' on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This time around, the tune climbs five spaces to No. 4 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking. 'Thunderstruck' has already ruled both the Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts. It has so far peaked in the runner-up space on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally and has spent hundreds of frames on each list. This week, the cut reaches a major milestone, hitting 520 frames on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart — a full decade's worth of charting. AC/DC also manages one worldwide smash at the moment, and again, it's 'Thunderstruck.' This week, the track bolts nearly 30 spaces north on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 155 in its ninety-fifth turn on the list.
