It’s been nearly two years since a very small subset of horror fans—i.e., those in attendance at Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, and the Sitges Film Festival in the fall of 2023—got a chance to see Macon Blair and Peter Dinklage’s updated take on Troma Films staple The Toxic Avenger. In that time, we’ve gotten one deliberately vague teaser trailer, a couple of Entertainment Weekly pictures, and not much else out of the production, which sees Dinklage take on the role of Toxie as he seeks to (very violently) clean up deranged terrorists and corrupt CEOs. Now, though, distributor Cineverse and producer Legendary Entertainment are ready to get the cult classic character rolling again, including giving us this exclusive look at the film’s new teaser poster designed by Creepy Duck—including a pretty good look at what Dinklage will be looking like once we enter the more “hideously mutated” portions of the movie.Toxic Avenger teaser poster

This just being a teaser, we’re not seeing Winston Gooze/The Toxic Avenger in all his gloopy glory, but the vibes are clearly in place. (Also, the mop, which, in that earlier teaser, we saw wipe away basically half of some random villain’s face in suitably bloody fashion.) And while fans have had to wait a long time to see Dinklage take on an evil Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood—the latter looking gorgeously scuzzoid in early pics from the movie—the clock is now officially ticking: The Toxic Avenger arrives in theaters for an “unrated wide release” in August of 2025.
