Clayface Set Photos and videos can first reveal a look at the main villain of the film DCu
While filming continues on the Liverpool ensemble of DC StudiosClayfaceThese latest photos and videos could simply reveal a first preview of the film’s main bad guy – although we have no idea who he is or what actor is playing it!
Photos of previous decor have highlighted the cover of the Gotham Gazette, the title informing us that Jimmy “Red” McCoy was the subject of an investigation. This low -level Batman Baddie always seemed little likely to be the main antagonist, but the bald and well -dressed guy seen in the steps of the courtroom with a lady on his arm could be.
According to the editor of News from Nexus Pout, Apocalyptic Horseman, some “big names” were offered this role, but he does not recognize this actor either. If you know who it is, please inform us in the comments.
As for the character, there are speculations according to which he could be Roland Daggett, who was introduced in Batman: the animated series As a very powerful and very corrupt businessman. Daggett Industries was responsible for creating Clayface in the cartoon, so there is a chance that this character was slightly modified as more hands on the gangster, and the man responsible for the disfigure of the face of Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries).
