Deadline reports that star Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) has just been cast in Legendary's upcoming Toxic Avenger remake, alongside other newly-announced cast member Julia Davis.
They'll be joining the previously cast Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Jacob Tremblay!
Here's the official synopsis:
A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool. When a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends and his community from the forces of corruption and greed.
Meanwhile, no official release date as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
