Peter Dinklage’s janitor-turned-superhero film to be screened at Fantastic Fest
Peter Dinklage fans have sufficient reason to rejoice! Legendary Pictures has just unleashed a tantalizing sneak peek of The Toxic Avenger, an electrifying remake of the cult 1984 classic. Dinklage is diving headfirst into the lead role as Winston Gooze. He’s not your average janitor; he's a brooding, melancholic soul toiling away at a health club. The twist? A terminal illness sets him on a wild mission to pilfer from his employer, but fate plays a wicked hand, dunking him into a toxic vat of ooze. Voila! Gooze emerges from the goo, a hideously heroic monster known as
the Toxic Avenger. In the recently-released first look of the movie, Dinklage brandishes a luminescent green mop –
a weapon that’s both intriguing and undoubtedly hazardous. The shadowy preview tantalizes us, keeping the enigmatic Gooze shrouded in mystery. Joining Dinklage on this electrifying journey is a star-studded cast: the talented Jacob Tremblay steps in as Gooze's son, and the lineup boasts heavyweights like Kevin Bacon, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, Sarah Niles, Julian Kostov, Elijah Wood, Jane Levy, and Macon Blair. Tune in for more.
