Signature Entertainment will release The Toxic Avenger in UK and Irish cinemas on 29 August.
Winston Gooze is an ordinary janitor who, after a shocking accident, transforms from a downtrodden janitor 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.
Premiering at Fantastic Fest back in 2023, The Toxic Avenger stars Peter Dinklage (Cyrano), Jacob Tremblay (Doctor Sleep), Taylour Paige (Zola), Kevin Bacon (Footloose), Elijah Wood (Bookworm), Julia Davis (Gavin & Stacey) and Luisa Guerreiro (Snow White).
The Toxic Avenger is written and directed by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore), with co-writing credits for Lloyd Kaufman (Mother’s Day) and Joe Ritter (The Toxic Avenger 1984). After a long wait, our toxic hero will finally step into UK and Irish cinemas, allowing audiences to compare this re-imagining with the cult classic 1984 film that spawned an outrageous franchise.
The Toxic Avenger is produced by Kaufman and Michael Herz (Class of Nuke ‘Em High) of Troma Entertainment, and Alex Garcia (Godzilla MonsterVerse) and Mary Parent (Dune: Part One, Dune Part Two) of Legendary Pictures.
