The Toxic Avenger is a 2023 American superhero black comedy splatter film written and directed by Macon Blair. It is the fifth installment in a reboot of The Toxic Avenger film series. There was a time after the film was finally complete when fans wondered if they would ever see it.
It was recently revealed that ‘Toxic Avenger’ will be released this summer, on August 29, 2025. Emmy winner Peter Dinklage will play the Toxic Avenger! The film will follow janitor Winston Gooze, who, after a freak accident, transforms into a mutant vigilante known as Toxie. Armed with his mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters, and corrupt CEOs to save his relationship with his son.
In December 2018, Legendary Pictures won the rights to reboot The Toxic Avenger, with the original’s producers, Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Entertainment, returning. In March 2019, Macon Blair was announced to write and direct. Of the script, Kaufman said, “Macon Blair knows Troma better than I do. He’s seen everything. He’s seen the cartoon [Toxic Crusaders], he’s seen the Halloween special, he’s seen everything. And he loves our movies.”
