What happens in the new Toxic Avenger trailer?
The new Toxic Avenger trailer sees Dinklage playing a janitor named Winston. Winston appears to be a pretty regular guy who typically avoids violence and is trying to connect with his son, played by Jacob Tremblay; everything changes, however, following an accident that transforms him into a mutant vigilante.
Much bloodshed then follows, as Dinklage’s character is seen decapitating and brutally killing a number of people. There’s also some new footage of Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood’s characters, among others.
“When a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger,” the official synopsis reads. “Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.”
The film is a remake of the 1984 movie, which was directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, of the same name. That film was followed by three sequels: 1989’s The Toxic Avenger Part II, 1989’s The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie, and 2000’s Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
The Toxic Avenger originally premiered at Fantastic Fest in September 2023. It struggled, however, to find a distributor until Cineverse finally acquired the rights in January 2025. Produced by Legendary Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger now arrives in United States theaters on August 29, 2025. The movie will be unrated.
