by

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that an exclusive sneak peek from ScreenRant has given us a fresh glimpse at the unrated reboot of The Toxic Avenger, masterfully crafted by Macon Blair. This movie, inspired by Lloyd Kaufman’s 1984 cult classic, boasts an impressive cast including Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze, Kevin Bacon as Bob Garbinger, Elijah Wood as Fritz Garbinger, Taylour Paige as J.J., Jacob Tremblay as Wade, and Jane Levy in the role of an insurance rep, among others. Initially slated for a 2023 premiere, this project faced delays in finding a distributor but is now set to hit theaters on August 29.

Currently, ScreenRant is revealing an exclusive sneak peek of Paige’s fresh character in the upcoming remake of The Toxic Avenger. Take a look at the picture displayed below:

In a turn of events on the film set, Blair, the actor portraying Denis, sustained an injury to his shoulder during a friendly arm wrestling match with Paige. This incident unfortunately led to damage in his shoulder muscle known as the rotator cuff. Due to this event and other related issues, their friendship has become somewhat tense, and a legal dispute is ongoing. Nevertheless, Blair praised Paige, calling her “gracious” and the “spine” of the movie. Here’s what he had to say:

(Blair’s comment) – In spite of the unfortunate incident that occurred between us, I must admit that Paige has been nothing but classy throughout this whole ordeal, and she truly is the backbone of our film.

Taylor exudes elegance. Physically imposing and always game for any challenge, she’s an absolute joy to watch on-screen. While Toxie may be the main character in the film, it’s clear that Taylor is the real backbone of the production.

What This Means For The Toxic Avenger

J.J. Sets The Tone Of The Toxic Avenger

In cinemas from the creators of “Terrifier”, comes “The Toxic Avenger”. This film tells the story of Winston, a janitor, who undergoes a transformation into the antihero character “Toxie” following an accidental exposure to harmful chemicals at work. Previously, Blair stated that Paige’s physicality is key to her fitting the role perfectly. Within the movie, J.J. plays an investigator, whose job is to uncover wrongdoings by corrupt companies and acts as a guide for Toxie.

In the initial glimpse, it’s clear that J.J. is depicted as a renegade crime-fighter. Previously, Blair commended Paige’s skill at creating a genuine and authentic portrayal of a rogue protagonist, whose determination mirrors the style of “The Toxic Avenger”. The director’s remarks align with his past statements, offering insights into Paige’s significant part in the upcoming horror-comedy film.

Our Take On Taylour Paige’s Character In The Toxic Avenger

J.J. Is A Mystery And A Surprise

The unrestrained action horror flick boasts plenty of bloodshed and gruesome demises, much like the trailers for The Toxic Avenger suggest. With its gritty and violent tone, it’s a movie that may prove difficult to pull off a successful blend of horror and humor, but Blair’s upcoming production could very well be one of those exceptional instances where they work seamlessly together.

In the reboot of “The Toxic Avenger”, although Pinklage’s character, Toxie, is the apparent focus, it seems that Paige’s character might be the one who will define the overall atmosphere. Details about her role are being kept secret, but from Blair’s comments, it appears she could be a surprising element in the movie.
