justjared.com:

James Gunn is setting the record straight on a recent rumor surrounding the DCU. The 58-year-old writer/director and co-CEO of DC Studios took to Threads to deny casting rumors about Daniel Radcliffe starring in the upcoming Clayface movie. Keep reading to find out more… “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.
