Wirral Comic Artist Captures Behind-the-Scenes Action of New Clayface Movie

Clayface movie set at New Brighton Fairground.

Wirral’s streets and skylines have been getting the Hollywood treatment this month as cameras roll for the upcoming Clayface movie — and one local artist has given fans a unique sneak peek.

Nathan Threlfall, a comic artist born and based in Wirral, has been documenting the shoot through a striking series of images that blend photography with his signature comic-inspired style. His work captures both the buzz of the film crew and the surreal sight of blockbuster action unfolding in everyday Merseyside spots.

From cranes and lighting rigs set against Liverpool and Wirral’s historic waterfronts to mysterious stunt scenes filmed in tucked-away Wirral streets, Threlfall’s photos highlight just how much global cinema is leaning on local talent and landscapes.

The Clayface movie, part of the ever-expanding DC universe, focuses on one of Batman’s most shapeshifting and tragic foes. While details of the plot remain under wraps, eagle-eyed locals have reported dramatic nighttime setups, chase sequences, and even hints of CGI-heavy scenes in the works.

For young creatives across Wirral and Merseyside, Threlfall’s behind-the-scenes lens is a reminder that massive cultural moments can happen right on your doorstep.
