Having finally been picked up for distribution after gathering dust for the best part of two years after its premiere at Fantastic Fest back in 2023, Cineverse has now shared a new poster and images from director Macon Blair’s upcoming remake of Troma’s cult 80s superhero comedy The Toxic Avenger which serve up a first look at Peter Dinklage’s mild-mannered janitor in full Toxie mode; check them out here…
“A shocking accident transforms downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze (Dinklage) into a mutant vigilante. Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters, and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son. The story channels the subversive gonzo energy of the original Toxic Avenger while delivering a fresh, contemporary twist.”
Joining Peter Dinklage in the cast are Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon.
The Toxic Avenger arrives in cinemas on August 29th.
