New Images of Peter Dinklage as The Toxic Avenger

It took a long time, but now there's an update on "The Toxic Avenger". The film starring Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon was first shown at a few festivals back in 2023. Since then, it has been rather quiet, but now regular viewers will also get to see new images of Peter Dinklage as the Toxic Avenger.

The "Toxic Avenger" is a reboot of the 80s trash classic of the same name. A toxic accident transforms janitor Winston Gooze into a new kind of hero: he is the Toxic Avenger, also known as Toxie! Toxie is equipped with a glowing mop and super-human strength. As you can see, "The Toxic Avenger" has nothing to do with "Marvel's The Avengers".

In an interview with the industry magazine Entertainment Weekly, director Macon Blair explains that he wants to retain the vibe of the classic with his film. At the same time, he also wants to create "something new and weird and lovable".

In the course of the interview, the portal also published images in which we can take a closer look at "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage as Toxie.

Trash fans were able to see the first images of "The Toxic Avenger" back in 2023. On this photos we can see "Lord of the Rings" star Eljiah Wood and Kevin Bacon in their roles as Fritz and Bob Garbinger. The cast also includes "Room" actor Jacob Tremblay and "Don't Breathe" actress Jane Levy. The film is scheduled for release on August 29, 2025.
