Title: Prepare to Witness the Toxic Avenger's Rebirth on the Big Screen
In the waning days of January, 2025, we've got some delightful news amidst this year's trials: Macon Blair's reboot of the iconic 80s comedy, Toxic Avenger, is making its way to the big screen! After a successful outing at Fantastic Fest 2023, which generated an enthusiastic response, this Troma Entertainment gem seemed to vanish into thin air. But fear not, movie enthusiasts, thanks to Cineverse, fresh off its triumph with Terrifier 3, it's back and ready to grace the silver screen near you.
According to Variety, The Toxic Avenger will hit theaters in 2025, and true to Cineverse's tradition, it'll feature an "unrated wide release." Peter Dinklage takes on the titular role of the hapless janitor-turned-superhuman, joined by an all-star cast that includes Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Page, and Julia Davis.
Director Macon Blair was understandably jubilant about finding the perfect distribution partner to bring this project to the public. In his statement, he expresses his excitement about sharing the film with audiences, describing it as a "fun, rowdy movie" best enjoyed in a packed theater. He further reiterated his ambition to preserve the essence of the original Toxie while injecting a fresh twist for avid Troma fans.
Unfortunately, the exact release date for The Toxic Avenger remains under wraps, but mark your calendars, as it's slated for 2025 release. And let's keep our fingers crossed for some appropriately appalling novelty popcorn buckets to match!
