Cineverse and Legendary Entertainment have set August 29 2025 for the theatrical release of The Toxic Avenger, Macon Blair’s modern re‑imagining of the 1980s cult classic.

Peter Dinklage leads as Winston Gooze, a beleaguered janitor whose exposure to a toxic mishap turns him into “Toxie,” a mutant hero armed with a mop and a mission. Facing corporate greed that endangers his family and community, Toxie takes the fight to corrupt powerbrokers—proving that justice can be highly radioactive.

The film’s ensemble features Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, and Taylour Paige. Teaser #2, shared today, teases a faux headache‑relief ad for “BTH—Bi‑Toxiphetamine Hydroxylate,” hinting at the dark humor that defined the original franchise.
Written and directed by Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), the reboot aims to balance the original’s satire with contemporary commentary on environmental responsibility and corporate excess. Ticket on‑sale details will be announced closer to release.
