Elijah Wood introduces The Killer Nutz in new trailer for The Toxic Avenger

May 23, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

A new teaser has arrived online for director Macon Blair’s long-delayed remake of the cult classic Troma superhero comedy The Toxic Avenger which focuses on the movie’s nu metal band The Killer Nutz; watch it below…

“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.”

The film stars Peter Dinklage as Toxie alongside Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis, and Taylour Paige. 

The Toxic Avenger arrives in cinemas on August 29th.
