Clayface (2026)

A Hollywood pretty boy actor hooks up with a mobster's wife and suffers a retaliatory attack. He undergoes an experimental procedure using nanocells to reconstruct the tissue, which proves to be highly unstable and malleable.
The third film in the slowly gestating DCU doesn't connect to any of the other films (so far) and is a modestly budgeted superhuman film that can be enjoyed without any prior knowledge of Batman. In fact, don't think of it as a DC movie at all. This is pure body horror. Think Darkman and you're on the right track.
