A modern remake of The Toxic Avenger follows Winston, a down-on-his-luck man who becomes a mutant vigilante after falling into toxic waste. Winston works for a crooked corporation led by Bob Garbinger, played by Kevin Bacon, while Jacob Tremblay appears as Winston's stepson, Wade. Elijah Wood portrays Fritz, a hunchbacked henchman who seeks love despite his villainous role. Macon Blair wrote and directed the remake. The film embraces a heightened reality with absurd characters, gooey gore, and overt homage to Troma Entertainment's low-budget horror-comedy aesthetic, offering details aimed at long-time fans.
The movie is about this guy who's an unlikely hero who becomes one and fights against the evil forces in this town that are conspiring to sort of take over and harm people, The movie takes place in a slightly heightened reality with over-the-top violence and kind of absurd wild characters, very much paying homage to the Troma films that inspired it, telling a new story within the context of that universe,
I get to play a villain that has a sort of hunchback and stringy hair and is virtually unrecognizable to me, which was really fun. He is his sort of brother's henchman and kind of an evil character, but ultimately at its core, I think he just wants to be loved, which we sort of find out. But such a fun character to play.
