Fans of unconventional superhero cinema are in for a treat this Halloween. The much-anticipated reboot of The Toxic Avenger, starring Emmy-winner Peter Dinklage, is set to hit Indian digital platforms on October 31, 2025.
The film will be available for premium rental on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube Movies.
Directed by Macon Blair and produced by Legendary Entertainment, this modern reimagining of the 1984 cult classic blends grotesque action, dark comedy, and a surprisingly heartfelt underdog narrative.
Dinklage plays Winston Gooze, a humble janitor who transforms into a hideously deformed vigilante after a toxic accident, wielding radioactive rage against corruption and injustice.
The ensemble cast includes Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood, adding layers of twisted charm to the satirical storyline. With its global release timed to coincide with Halloween festivities, the film offers Indian audiences a gory yet goofy alternative to traditional horror flicks.
Whether you’re a longtime Troma fan or a newcomer to the franchise, The Toxic Avenger promises a wild ride of slime, satire, and superhero subversion.
