A fan favorite is reborn as filmmaker Macon Blair brings the iconic mop wielding anti-hero back to the big screen in ‘The Toxic Avenger.’ The film from Legendary Entertainment is a contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s 1984 comedic action hit, ‘The Toxic Avenger,’ created by genre legend, Lloyd Kaufman.
Uniting an exciting critically acclaimed roster of beloved actors, the cast includes Emmy Award winner Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon.
The film follows the story of struggling everyman-janitor Winston Gooze, who is transformed by a horrible toxic accident into a new evolution of hero: The Toxic Avenger! Now with super-human strength and wielding a glowing mop for his unconventional weapon, he must race against time to save his son and stop a ruthless and power-hungry corporate tyrant bent on harnessing toxic superpowers to strengthen his polluted empire.
