You can finally watch the Toxic Avenger reboot in Theaters

Finally, as January descends, we have some genuine good news in this hell 2025: Macon Blair’s Toxic Avenger it’s finally coming to theaters! Troma Entertainment’s reimagining of the 1984 splatter comedy by Lloyd Kaufman – never forget, it’s where James Gunn got his start –apparently evaporated in spite an enthusiastic welcome at the Fantastic Fest 2023. But thanks to Cineversefresh from his Terrifying 3 successis finally coming to a theater near you.

Variety reports The Toxic Avenger It’ll hit theaters in 2025 — and like the Art the Clown-starring Cineverse smash, it’ll get an “unrated wide release.” Dinklage plays the title character (a security guard who accidentally turns into a super-powered vigilante) in a cast that also includes Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Page and Julia Davis.

In a statement to the trade, director Blair seemed understandably excited to have found “the perfect distribution partner” to bring The Toxic Avenger to the masses. “It’s so good that people will have the chance to see this in theaters, it’s a fun movie that you want to see with a crowd. The mutant hero beats the bad guys with a mop: perfect entertainment for the whole family!” he said. our goal was always to preserve the heart and spirit of the original Toxie (which was stuck in my brain at a very young age) and try to make something that Troma fans dig and at the same time to do something with the character you feel. cool.”

There is still no word The Toxic AvengerThe precise date of release, but you can count on it this year – with, we can only hope, a sort of appropriately repulsive novelty popcorn bucket to correspond to?
