DC Studios casted Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries as the lead for Clayface.
Harries was born in Cardiff, Wales where he attended the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama for his acting training. He got his start in theater, starring in the play MOJO.
Harries has steadily been done guest-starring roles in many television dramas, like The Split, 15 Days, and Doctor Who. Most recently, he did a voice for the Netflix animated series Wolf King.
Ironically, Harries was not even on the short list of potential leads for Clayface. Previously, we reported other young actors, like George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O’Connell and Leo Woodall, were the possible candidates to play the lead. In the end, production chose none of those actors for the role.
Speak No Evil director James Watkins will helm the film. It is supposedly the next big DC Studios movie following the upcoming Superman and next summer’s Supergirl. The movie will shoot at Warner Bros Leavesden studio in the UK.
What Other Characters Need to Be Casted in ‘Clayface’?
Now that we have presumably-Matt Hagen casted, what other characters will we see showing up in Clayface? It is not likely Batman will show. But what about some supporting characters, like Hagen’s friend Teddy? Presumably, if the script is heavily influenced by the Batman: The Animated Series arc Feat of Clay, then we could see some of the side characters show up in the movie.
Like, it is easy to think that notoriously evil businessman Roland Daggett could play a huge part in the movie, since he was the catalyst for Hagen’s transformation into Clayface. What would be an amazing treat is if we saw Daggett’s henchmen, especially the idiosyncratic, hypochondriac Germs appear. Germs gave the most memorable scene from that story arc that didn’t feature Clayface himself.
How funny would it be to see a variation of this scene in the movie?
Clayface will hit theaters on September 11, 2026.
