Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Clayface dates to 1940s Batman comics, but this version explicitly satirizes modern influencer culture and the Ozempic-era obsession with artificial preservation.
Harries spent six hours daily in makeup, and the production consulted with retired Jim Henson Creature Shop artists for the shapeshifting sequences.
