Story of The Toxic Avenger

In a fresh take on the 1984 cult classic, Peter Dinklage stars as Winston Gooze, a hapless janitor transformed into a toxic superhero after a fateful encounter with a vat of toxic waste. Helmed by writer-director Macon Blair, The Toxic Avenger chronicles Winston’s crusade against the nefarious forces of greed and corruption, fighting to protect his son, friends, and community.

This reimagining promises a thrilling, unapologetic ride, infused with environmental themes and a penchant for violence and gore, earning its R-rating. While not a direct remake, Dinklage has voiced his appreciation for Troma’s unconventional filmmaking approach and the original’s rebellious spirit. Both longtime fans and new audiences eagerly anticipate the release of this bold reimagining.
