Summary The Toxic Avenger’s wide release gets an uncertain update from star Peter Dinklage. Directed by Macon Blair, the upcoming film follows janitor Winston Gooze , who becomes the eponymous hero after inadvertently being exposed to a harmful substance. Along with Dinklage, the cast of The Toxic Avenger includes Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Elijah Wood, Kevin Bacon, and more.

No, I'm not a producer on it. I don't know. I do want it to get out there into the world because it was a really big hit at Fantastic Fest in Austin, and Macon Blair, the writer/director who is also in The Thicket ... He's incredible. He's one of my favorite people and favorite artists. So hopefully it will have its day in the toxic sun.

The movie garnered positive reactions out of the festival, as Dinklage mentioned, and currently holds a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. That, along with The Toxic Avenger’s R-rating and some glimpses of gory sequences, will likely benefit the film, should it eye a theatrical release. There are many memorable moments the reboot can replicate, including the character’s transformation, but it will also feature new story elements and potential altercations for Dinklage’s Winston Gooze to handle.
