THE TOXIC AVENGER: Cineverse Brings “Toxie” To North America In 2025

Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger revamp was another film I couldn’t catch along with the rest of the crowd at the eighteenth edition Fantastic Fest, and not for lack of trying.

As of late, the film has a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. What’s more is Cineverse has swooped in on the famed Troma property which Blair directed, and stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage in the title role for an unrated wide release premiere later this year. The banner has all U.S. and Canadian theatrical, home entertainment, and streaming rights through a deal with Legendary Entertainment, which all but guarantees that “Toxie” himself shall […]
