A second teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Toxic Avenger remake has been released online, building excitement for its upcoming theatrical debut on August 29. The film, which recently made a successful debut at Fantastic Fest 2023, will be distributed by Cineverse.
The Toxic Avenger remake stars Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, and Jacob Tremblay. Luisa Guerreiro takes on the role of Toxie under extensive makeup. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the film’s official release after months of anticipation following its debut at Fantastic Fest.
Cineverse, known for its success with Terrifier, has now revived the Toxic Avenger project. The studio’s expertise in horror films is expected to play a significant role in the film’s success. The remake promises to blend iconic designs with fresh, practical effects, staying true to the character’s roots while introducing a new and lovable version of Toxie.
Director Blair shared details about the film’s design, mentioning how the team drew inspiration from various incarnations of the Toxic Avenger over the years. “We wanted to capture the essence of the original Toxie while adding a new, weird, and endearing twist,” Blair explained. “Millennium FX did an incredible job creating a practical Toxie with goopy boils and elements like the melted tutu and the janitor’s mop weapon.”
As the release date approaches, the new teaser and first images of Toxie are getting fans excited about the film’s potential. With Cineverse’s involvement, the remake is set to make a big impact when it arrives in theaters later this year.
Stay tuned for more updates as Toxic Avenger prepares for its August 29 release.
