Peter Dinklage Says "Write to Your Congressman" If You Want to See 'The Toxic Avenger'

Peter Dinklage the toxic avenger (Winston Wearing Mask)

The Big Picture It's been nearly a year since The Toxic Avenger was reborn, yet general audiences still haven't had a chance to see Peter Dinklage's iteration of the trashy Troma superhero. The reboot, written and directed by Macon Blair, earned a warm reception following its debut at Fantastic Fest last September with a strong 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and plenty of positive reactions from Collider's Perri Nemiroff and John Aljets to Suitable Flesh director Joe Lynch.

Released in 1984, the original Toxic Avenger followed Melvin Ferd Junko III , a meek and often-bullied nerd who transforms into the titular mutant hero after falling into a vat of toxic waste. Blair's take opts for a more emotional angle with the same R-rated trappings, instead casting Dinklage as the down-on-his-luck janitor Winston Gooze.

As Dinklage said, the pair will soon be seen on Tubi with The Thicket, which is currently slated to hit theaters on September 6. The film has been a long-gestating passion project for him that adapts the Joe R. Lansdale novel of the same name with Elliott Lester directing and Chris Kelley writing.
