Cineverse has dropped a wild new teaser for the highly anticipated horror-comedy remake of The Toxic Avenger, and it looks like we're in for a gruesome, hilarious ride. Written and directed by Macon Blair, this bold reimagining breathes new, radioactive life into the cult classic. At the center of the madness is Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze — an unfortunate janitor who, after a brutal toxic accident, is reborn as the monstrous, mop-wielding vigilante known as the Toxic Avenger.
This time around, the stakes are higher and the slime runs deeper. As Winston grapples with his grotesque transformation, he discovers newfound strength and a glowing mop that becomes his unlikely weapon of justice. But heroism doesn’t come easy. With his son in danger and a corporate villain — played by the always-menacing Kevin Bacon — scheming to exploit toxic powers for world domination, the Toxic Avenger must embrace his freakish form and take on the fight of his life.
The reboot boasts a stacked cast, including Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and an unrecognizably creepy Elijah Wood. Each performance promises to add layers of chaos, comedy, and terror to this modern-day monster flick. Macon Blair’s twisted vision keeps the campy spirit of Lloyd Kaufman and Joe Ritter’s original alive, while injecting it with fresh energy, sharper satire, and a radioactive glow-up fit for today’s audience.
Set for release on August 29th, 2025, The Toxic Avenger is shaping up to be the year’s weirdest and wildest superhero horror romp. Whether you’re a diehard Troma fan or a newcomer to the goo-soaked legend, prepare for outrageous gore, dark humor, and a glowing mop of justice. This isn't your average superhero tale — it’s a toxic one.
