Now, the film\u2019s director, James Watkins, has revealed why the Breaking Bad and Westworld star is in DC\u2019s first R-rated horror movie.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Paul plays Jimmy \u201cOne Nut\u201d Hagen, the late abusive father of protagonist Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries). Word of Paul\u2019s casting was <u>first reported by Feature First<\/u> back in June. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Paul\u2019s cameo occurs during the climactic action sequence set at the Gotham City nightclub Vesuvius where Matt confronts the gangsters who disfigured him. Matt finds the hood who killed his dad and morphs into his father to shock the killer.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">More From Gotham City<\/h2>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Paul originally had a larger supporting role in Clayface, appearing in flashbacks to Matt\u2019s youth, but the filmmakers ultimately cut nearly all of those scenes. Paul\u2019s appearance in the nightclub is all that remains of his role.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIn terms of trying to figure out the character, it was, How much is Matt defined by his past and how much is he an everyman?\u201d <u>Watkins told Entertainment Weekly<\/u>. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cAt one point, we were looking at it and thinking, Is it the \u2018sins of the father\u2019? But actually, as we worked on the script, I thought that notion of revenge was more universal and more relatable to all of us. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you\u2019re carrying a trauma or any of that. If we\u2019re slighted, we carry this sense of being wronged and we all want to do something, but generally in life we can\u2019t do anything about it and we\u2019re powerless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As EW points out, rather than having Matt haunted by his dad he instead weaponizes the memory of his father against his enemies. \u201cHe\u2019s probably also saying, \u2018No, I\u2019m not my father,\u2019\u201d said Watkins.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For more on the film, read my <u>Clayface review<\/u>, our <u>Clayface ending explained<\/u>, and catch up on <u>everything we know so far about the DCU\u2019s Batman<\/u>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/aaron-paul-clayface-cameo-dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoilers follow for Clayface, which is now playing in theaters.
