Toxie's back to save the summer – ahead of The Toxic Avenger ‘s release in just under two months, IGN has revealed the official Red Band trailer for Macon Blair's new take on the Troma cult classic.
Hitting theaters on August 29, Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting's The Toxic Avenger will be released in all its uncut and Unrated glory, a certification our friends at Bloody say comes down to a hefty helping of “toxic content, mutant nudity, splatter and piss play”, yay!
In Blair's reimagining of Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman's 1984 sick superhero tale, Peter Dinklage stars as downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze, who, after a freak accident, transforms into the mutant vigilante we know and love as Toxie:
“Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son. The story channels the subversive gonzo energy of the original Toxic Avenger while delivering a fresh, contemporary twist,”
Starring alongside Dinklage in the officially Certified Fresh pic are Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige and Luisa Guerreiro, who provides Toxie's physical performance.
If today's new trailer is anything to go by, The Toxic Avenger is set to be the superhero event of the summer, Clark Kent be damned.
