For over 40 years iconic independent filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman and his Tromaverse has been bringing some of the most outrageous films to the masses including Poultrygeist, Sgt. Kabuki Man and their return to the Nuke ‘Em High franchise Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1 & 2. For years they have been talking about a remake of their most famous hero, The Toxic Avenger with one point saying Arnold Schwarzenegger might be taking on the role.

 

The film finally went into production with a great cast including Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige and Peter Dinklage taking on the role of Winston aka Toxie (with actor and movement artist Louisa Guerreiro playing Toxie in the suit) with Macon Blair taking on directing duties. The film wrapped production back in 2021 but looked like it was never getting released until now.

 

The Toxic Avenger follows a shocking accident that transforms downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze into a mutant vigilante. Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.

 

While we have to wait until August before we can finally see the film in theaters, but while you wait you can check out the new poster and teaser trailer here now from Cineverse.
