A long-awaited reboot of The Toxic Avenger is officially set to hit theaters on August 29, 2025, following its premiere at Fantastic Fest 2023.
The film follows Winston Gooze, a struggling janitor who is transformed into an unlikely hero after a toxic accident. Now known as The Toxic Avenger, he must take a stand against corrupt corporate forces threatening his son, his friends, and his community. Promising a fresh take on the cult classic, the film trades in traditional superhero tropes for a darker, radioactive-infused brand of justice.
Directed and written by Macon Blair, the movie features an impressive ensemble cast led by Peter Dinklage as the titular hero. The lineup also includes Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon.
The film is set for a U.S. theatrical release, though details on a UK release have yet to be announced.
A teaser trailer has also been released, showcasing the film’s intense action and violent sequences. Viewers are advised that the footage is for mature audiences only.
