As rumors swirl that Mike Flanagan pitched a Clayface film to DC, the horror maestro himself has officially debunked the claims.
Earlier today, Deadline and other outlets reported that horror maestro Mike Flanagan had made overtures to Warner Bros. Discovery about a potential Clayface film. Inside sources claimed the director had pitched a new feature revolving around the Batman villain that would show the character in a new, less villainous light.
"Re: CLAYFACE - the news today is entirely speculative," Flanagan wrote. "When or if something like that ever becomes real, I promise I'll tell you guys." That seems to kill any chances, as of now, that he'll be part of some new spin on the Rogues Gallery member, but it does leave some questions about Matt Reeves's The Batman - Part II.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It's possible Flanagan and Macy did meet with Gunn and Safran, but nothing is close enough for either party to announce yet. Flanagan, for his part, has expressed interest in directing a film on Clayface in the past. In an episode of the Script Apart podcast, he mentions even pitching a Clayface movie years ago, but nothing really stuck with producer Jon Berg.
Even if that doesn't become a reality, Flanafans still have a lot to look forward to from the director, however. He'll be tackling the work of King once again with an adaptation of the seemingly unadaptable The Dark Tower, and he still has The Fall of the House of Usher on the docket for this year. He and Macy are also entering a different streaming environment going forward, taking their scares to Prime Video following the expiration of their Netflix deal.
