Toxic Avenger Teaser Offers New (And Absolutely Disgusting) Looks at Peter Dinklage Reboot

by

A fresh teaser trailer for the remake of “The Toxic Avenger” has been unveiled, showcasing Peter Dinklage in his role as the title character. Filmmaker Macon Blair, known for his work on “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore“, is breathing life into “The Toxic Avenger” with Peter Dinklage portraying the iconic character called “Toxie”. The revamped version of “The Toxic Avenger” is being supported by Cineverse, and we’ve glimpsed various sneak peeks to attract a new generation of fans for this classic. One intriguing way the movie is being advertised is through the release of its latest trailer that takes viewers on an unappetizing restaurant tour.

Get ready for a fresh hero! The Toxic Avenger will be arriving soon, exclusively in theaters this August! #ImWithToxie #ToxicAvengerTeaser. Check out our teaser video which takes us to Miss Meat fast food restaurant. Beware of some unusual menu items such as a questionable tuna taco, a ‘wet burrito’, and the ‘Big Cock’ – rice and toppings shaped like male genitalia.”

I tried to maintain the original tone and spirit while making it easier for readers to understand. The hashtags have been retained, but I added some explanations to make them clearer for those who might not be familiar with them.

I’ve got a fresh new physique, but the delicious food remains the same!

The brief teaser clip transitions to clips from the film “Toxic Avenger,” where a news report announces that a band of armed political fanatics have seized hostages within the Miss Meat establishment. Enter Peter Dinklage’s character, Toxie, brandishing his mutated broom to confront the villains. When one terrorist approaches Toxie, our hero delivers a powerful slap that sends the extremist flying, leaving nothing but a bloody splatter where his mouth once was as terrified hostages cry out. Despite its brevity, the trailer effectively captures the essence of the movie: prepare for any eventuality.

In “The Toxic Avenger,” we see Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze, a janitor who experiences an unexpected mishap at a chemical plant. This incident transforms Winston into a mutant, who then employs his new powers to combat criminal activities. Interestingly, while Dinklage takes on the role of Winston Gooze, Luisa Guerreiro performs as Toxie, hidden beneath the makeup and costume.

In his own words, director Macon Blair aimed to preserve the authentic feel of Lloyd Kaufman’s original Jennifer Aspinall/Mitch Cohen creature, while incorporating elements from the animated series “Toxic Crusaders.” He further wanted to create something fresh, strange, and endearing with Toxie’s design. Macon Blair was thrilled with Millenium FX’s execution, describing Toxie as part human, part mutant, and all heart. Notably, he mentioned that the 1989 films “The Toxic Avenger Part II” and “The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie” greatly influenced his vision for Toxie’s appearance.

In 2023, Blair shared with EW, “However, it’s the real-life effects we used. You can clearly see the gooey pustules and such details,”. “Moreover, we remained faithful to some of the most memorable aspects: the tutu fused to his body, and the janitor’s mop as his powerful weapon.

Under Macon Blair’s direction, the upcoming film titled The Toxic Avenger features an impressive cast including Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis, and Taylour Paige. This movie will hit theaters on August 29th.
