EW have published the first official photos from Macon Blair’s remake of Troma’s The Toxic Avenger.
The film debuted at Fantastic Fest in 2023 to rave reviews but failed to get a distributor. This January, Cineverse picked up all U.S. and Canadian theatrical, home entertainment, and streaming rights through a deal with the producers at Legendary Entertainment and the film will be released on 29th August.
The Toxic Avenger follows Winston Gooze, played by Peter Dinklage. Working as a janitor at a chemical factory, Winston endures a freak industrial accident that turns him into a mutant. Though he becomes an outcast as a result, he also uses his newfound superhuman strength to become a vigilante to battle freaks, gangsters, and corrupt CEOs.
Luisa Guerreiro, an actor and movement artist, provides the physical performance of Toxie underneath all that makeup and costume. Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis and Kevin Bacon co-star.
