Last Updated on July 30, 2021

So Deadline reports that actor Jacob Tremblay (The Book of Henry) has joined the previously-cast Peter Dinklage (Pixels) in the upcoming big-budget Toxic Avenger reboot, for some reason!

Here's the official synopsis, according to the article:

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. Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz will serve as producers.

Meanwhile, Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore) will write-and-direct the remake for Legendary Pictures!

So what do you guys think? Fans of the original? If so, what do you think of the reboot? Either way, sound off below!
