Clayface trailer leans into the body horror

A teaser dropped in April showing a bandaged Hagen in a hospital bed, ending with a shot of the character’s now-putty-like face beginning to shapeshift. This latest trailer opens with Bates asking Hagen to show her his badly disfigured face, covered in a mask. He wants his old life back—the Hollywood golden boy before thugs carved up his face—and he’s hoping Bates can give it to him. She has a radical new treatment involving the injection of a mysterious gooey substance. Hagen volunteers to be a human guinea pig, even though she cautions, “This isn’t cosmetic surgery”; there could be side effects, and she won’t know how to treat them. “Even if it kills me, I’ll be better off than I am now,” Hagen insists. He is very wrong about that. At first, the treatment seems to have worked, but then his face starts sagging mid-flight, and we see Hagen holding a dopp kit knife in the aircraft’s restroom, presumably about to use it to open his now-blocked eyes. Ewww. His body-morphing condition just gets worse from there, fueling his rage—or perhaps it’s the other way around. Clayface hits theaters on October 23, 2026.
