About Clayface
Clayface is a stand-alone DC Studios film built around the shapeshifting Batman rogue. James Watkins directs; Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini wrote the screenplay. Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, a Gotham actor whose face is destroyed by a crime boss and who seeks an experimental treatment that restores his looks while fracturing his grip on reality. Deadline reported the official trailer on July 22 2026 and a Warner Bros. theatrical date of October 23 2026. The cast includes Naomi Ackie, Max Minghella, David Dencik, and Eddie Marsan. Producers include James Gunn, Peter Safran, Matt Reeves, and Lynn Harris. Coverage frames the project as an R-rated body-horror origin story rather than a standard cape movie. People search the title for the trailer, cast confirmations, the October 23 2026 release, and how the film sits next to Matt Reeves' Batman films and the wider DC slate.
What the time series shows
The Clayface Google Search curve is a low baseline with two sharp trailer spikes. Interest sits near 1 to 2 for most of the 260-week series from August 7 2021, with a 2025 peak of only 15 on September 6. In 2026 the line stays at 2 through early April, ticks to 4 on April 18, then hits 100 on April 25 when early trailer material circulated. It cools to 25 on May 2 and settles between 5 and 8 from mid-May through July 18. The July 22 trailer resets the curve: July 25 jumps to 61. That is below the April peak of 100, so 90-day change is still -39.0%, while 30-day change is +916.7%. YouTube for the same keyword mirrors the shape: 100 on April 25, 2 on July 18, then 48 on July 25 (+2300.0% over 7 days). Derived labels from the Google Search series: growth exploding, speed exponential, seasonality medium, volatility high. Growth is exploding because 30-day change clears +100%. Speed is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (6 → 61, abs 55) is more than 2x the prior 30-day move. Seasonality is medium: two trailer-timed peaks rather than a single uninterrupted climb. Volatility is high on week-over-week percent changes (series stdev about 173.8%). Weeks after July 25 are not yet in the weekly series, so post-trailer decay is still unmeasured.
