The next comprises spoilers for Creature Commandos.
Quite a few followers are possible ready for the Superman launch date to hit in July since that would be the big-screen debut for James Gunn’s new DC Universe. Nevertheless, the primary installment within the rebooted franchise is already right here within the type of the animated Creature Commandoes present. The sequence featured various acquainted faces, together with Batman villain Clayface. Now, Gunn has supplied some readability on the character’s destiny following the sequence, and the phrase “fairly mushy” was used.
It is identified {that a} new Clayface film is on the way in which from horror maestro Mike Flanagan. The film even has a launch date already, one thing that may’t be stated for almost all of upcoming DC motion pictures in James Gunn’s new franchise. Nevertheless, Creature Commandos additionally confirmed a Clayface who, final we noticed him, gave the impression to be very, very lifeless. Followers afraid they’ve already seen the primary and the final of shapeshifter needn’t be too involved. On BluSky, James Gunn confirms that antagonist lives, saying…
The studies of Clayface’s dying have been enormously exaggerated.
He’s fairly mushy although.
Throughout a struggle with Rick Flag Sr. and Frankenstein on Creature Commandos, Clayface was electrocuted, resulting in an explosion that despatched items of his gooey physique in all instructions. When Amanda Waller visited the scene of the battle later, the creature was nonetheless immobile and, as Gunn stated, in mushy items.
Whereas a number of variations of the tragic villain exist all through DC Comics and its related media, the character is historically a person who, by publicity to unusual chemical substances, turns into a shapeshifter. In his default type, he is only a mound of “clay.” The truth that his physique may be endlessly reformed historically makes him functionally immortal, and evidently is probably going the case right here as properly.
In fact, it doesn’t imply that Clayface wants to be alive for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming film to work. Flanagan has had the Clayface film thought for years. So, whereas James Gunn stated the movie will likely be a part of the DCU, simply as Creature Commandos is, it does not imply that the function will likely be notably related to the sequence. As an illustration, Flanagan’s flick may very well be the origin story for the character and never require an excessive amount of connective tissue to the bigger franchise in an effort to work.
In fact, the truth that the mutated being is seemingly alive doesn’t imply there are any particular plans for the character at this level within the DCU. It may merely imply that Gunn needs to maintain him alive in order that the character can be utilized sooner or later. Nonetheless, it appears possible that if the DCU can use Clayface, it possible will.
The obvious place to see the clay monster could be in a Batman challenge. But, contemplating that there has seemingly been little motion on The Courageous and the Daring, the DCU’s Bat film, it may very well be fairly a while earlier than we hear something.
Within the meantime, stream the complete first season of Creature Commandos utilizing a Max subscription.
