So this is interesting! THR reports that star Kevin Bacon has joined the cast of the upcoming Toxic Avenger remake starring Peter Dinklage, based on the cult classic Troma superhero flick!

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, Toxic Avenger – written and directed by Macon Blair and also starring Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige – has no official release date as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
