First Look at ‘Toxic Avenger’ Reboot

Directed & written by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), the reboot of the 1980s dark cult comedy stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) as the titular character “Toxie,” with Kevin Bacon (They/Them, Hollow Man), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder) and Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Zola) also starring.

Synopsis: When a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.

THE TOXIC AVENGER is distributed by Cineverse, produced by Legendary Entertainment.
