“As we confirmed the other day, we’re closing a deal with James to direct. Because we don’t have a director yet, we haven’t even started the casting process. Daniel is great but we certainly haven’t talked to or considered him. So this one is 100% false,” James wrote on his Threads account.
THR recently revealed that Speak No Evil helmer James Watkins is attached to direct the upcoming DC title, which was first revealed back in December.
Horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan has penned the script for the movie, and a September 11, 2026 release date has been set.
Stay tuned for official casting news on the Clayface movie!
