James Watkins, director of DC Studios' Clayface, said in a remote interview that the film's Gotham City was built with production designer James Price using real Liverpool streets rather than heavy VFX. Watkins described a corrupt city lit with tungsten and sodium-orange light by cinematographer Rob Hardy, with DC Easter eggs hidden in restaurant names, signage and facility names. Matt Hagen is played by Tom Rhys Harries. The film opens October 30.
