“The Toxic Avenger” will be remake, with Peter Dinklage as a superhero.
“The Toxic Avenger”, which became the benchmark of cult movies in the 1980s, is about to be remade.
It is understood that Peter Dinklage will star in this film and play the “poor man” who became a superhero by accident.
It is reported that the film will be written and directed by director Macon Blair of “Small Crimes” and “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”.
The original “The Toxic Avenger” is a cult movie that combines science fiction, comedy, and thriller.
The original film was directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman.
Once it was launched at that time, it became a favorite object of many movie fans.
The film’s story is simple and crude. It tells a mentally handicapped young man with a thin body. He is a mop cleaner in a fitness center.
One day, he was played with and became a joke among the masses.
He accidentally fell from the glass window upstairs and accidentally fell into a certain chemical industry waste water. His body was severely injured by radiation, and his gene mutated into a monster.
He decided to take revenge and declare war on the evil forces of society.
In 1985, the film was released and immediately became a topical film.
Afterwards, the filmmakers took advantage of the hot iron and shot three sequels and an animated cartoon, creating a universe around the character “Toxie”.
In addition to movies, “The Toxic Avenger” is also a huge IP, which has been adapted into musicals and comics for performances.
However, due to the worrying level of subsequent films, and “The Toxic Avenger 4” was born in 2001, Hollywood was at a turning point at this time.
Therefore, since then, the work has ceased, and there will be no sequels.
The producer decided that Peter Dinklage will star in this film because Peter Dinklage himself has a good experience in comedy and magic drama.
Peter Dinklage is only 135cm tall due to dwarfism. He is very popular for his “Death at a Funeral” piece.
Later, he starred in “Game of Thrones” and made him a movie star that attracted worldwide attention.
