“You’re not a monster. Show him your good heart.” Here we go! Cineverse has finally unveiled the gnarly, crazy, badass official trailer for the horror remake of The Toxic Avenger, ready to hit theaters this August at the end of this summer. It’s looking better than ever! After a two year wait since this first premiered at the genre festivals – it’s time to unleash Toxie on everyone evil! The original The Toxic Avenger from 1984 is a Lloyd Kaufman / Troma horror cult classic. Many sequels were made, and spin-offs, but now Troma has teamed up with Legendary for a brand new take. Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger reboot follows struggling everyman-janitor Winston Gooze (starring Peter Dinklage as our new anti-hero) who is transformed by a horrible toxic accident into a new evolution of superhero: The Toxic Avenger! With super-human strength & wielding a glowing mop, Toxie must race against time to both save his son & stop a ruthless, power-hungry corporate tyrant hellbent on harnessing toxic superpowers. Also with Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon. We’ve posted a handful of teasers during the year so far, glad to finally have the full trailer to watch. This is extremely violent & gory – NSFW! Enjoy.
Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Macon Blair’s horror reboot The Toxic Avenger, on YouTube:

From Fantastic Fest: “A horrible toxic accident transforms downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze into a new evolution of hero: The Toxic Avenger! Now wielding a glowing mop with super-human strength, he must race against time to save his son and stop a ruthless and power-hungry tyrant bent on harnessing toxic superpowers to strengthen his polluted empire.” This 2023 update of The Toxic Avenger is both written and directed by American actor / filmmaker Macon Blair, his second feature after directing the film I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore (from 2017) previously. The script is based on the original The Toxic Avenger movie by Lloyd Kaufman & Joe Ritter. It’s produced by Alex Garcia, Michael Herz, Lloyd Kaufman, and Mary Parent. This initially premiered at Fantastic Fest 2023 a few years ago, and also played at Beyond Fest that year. Cineverse will finally release Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger remake in select US theaters starting August 29th, 2025 coming soon. Follow them @ToxicAvenger for updates. Who’s ready for this?
