In case you've missed it, here's the trailer for Troma's new, rebooting "The Toxic Avenger", filmed in 2023, released in 2025.
Actually it looks pretty cool. The casting, namely Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon, seems super adequate to the material, with all three actors having their own sort of cult status in the fantasy and horror community, and it levels up the acting quality quite a bit in comparison to the 1984 original. The appearance of the new Toxie is really convincing, and the poster artwork (see e.g. Wikipedia, link below) very nicely sets its own, gritty, toxic, low-budget tone for the movie. "The Toxic Avenger" is getting good ratings on IMBD - all in all, it looks like this is a fun watch, while keeping the legacy and feel of the original intact. A reboot done right!
