Prepare for a radioactive dose of dark comedy and heroics. The reboot of the cult classic The Toxic Avenger is on its way to theaters this summer!
Directed and written by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), this new take on the 1980s favorite boasts an impressive cast.
Playing “Toxie” is none other than Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”). He’s joined by an all-star lineup including horror veteran Kevin Bacon (Tremors, Hollow Man), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder), and the rising star Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Zola).
What’s the Story of Toxie?
“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 threatening his son, friends, and community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.”</p>
It sounds like the perfect blend of superhero satire, grotesque transformation, and righteous vengeance—a combination that fans of the original will love, all with a modern twist.
Cineverse is distributing The Toxic Avenger, which Legendary Entertainment produces. The production promises to be high-quality (and undoubtedly disgusting in the best way).
It’s Time to Go NUTZ!
Official Teaser #3, playfully titled “BECOMING NUTZ, “is the latest glimpse into this fun flick, hinting at killer music. And if the tagline “One Band. One Town. A Concert You’ll Never Forget.” is anything to go by, we’re in for a chaotic, rock-and-roll-infused ride!
Get ready to go full NUTZ when The Toxic Avenger hits theaters on August 29, 2025! This is one radioactive hero’s journey you won’t want to miss.
