Clayface
2026 · TMDB 7.5
Directed by James Watkins
Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss's actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.
Why it matters
Matt Hagen rises from Gotham's streets to Hollywood stardom, is disfigured by a crime boss, and accepts a treatment that restores his face while corroding his grip on reality. The film treats the studio and the clinic as two arms of the same enterprise.
