(via Deadline) More than a year after horror maestro Mike Flanagan pitched his take on the shapeshifting villain to James Gunn and Peter Safran, it is finally joining the new DCU.

Deadline has confirmed that Flanagan has been tapped to write the script for DC Studios amid his work on the upcoming “Exorcist” reboot. We understand the studio is still searching for a director.

Flanagan has expressed his interest in making a standalone Clayface movie, writing on Twitter in 2021 that he wants to approach the film as a “horror/thriller/tragedy.”

Although Flanagan wasn’t pitching the character to be part of Matt Reeves’ DC elseworld, other sources have said that Clayface is a big addition to Reeves’ The Batman 2.
