Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood Debut Toxic Avenger Reboot at Comic-Con

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the cast and creators of The Toxic Avenger Unrated, including Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, and Taylour Paige, offered an early look at the long-awaited superhero reboot set to release on August 29. Peter Dinklage, who stars as janitor Winston Gooze and voices the mutant vigilante Toxie, praised the film's satirical approach to ongoing environmental issues and expressed admiration for both the original film's creator Lloyd Kaufman and director Macon Blair. Elijah Wood discussed his complex character Fritz Garbinger, highlighting the film's blend of horror and creativity. The reboot faced initial distribution challenges after its 2023 Fantastic Fest premiere but was acquired by Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing for an unrated theatrical release. The movie’s themes critique corporate corruption and the bystander effect, emphasizing the shift from inaction to vigilantism. Cast members also humorously engaged with fans, with Paige joking about her new motherhood and Tremblay sharing his admiration for Dinklage, who credited his body double Luisa Guerreiro for much of his physical performance.
