The Toxic Avenger (2025) ReviewDown-on-his-luck janitor Winston Gooze (Peter Dinklage) mutates into an unexpected hero after being submerged in toxic waste. After over a decade of development diversions and distribution troubles, the reboot of much-loved 1980s midnight movie The Toxic Avenger is finally splattering onto screens — and while it’s had a contemporary update in its core themes and special effects, it still retains the gory, spoofy silliness that made the original a cult hit. Game Of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage steps into the starring role as Winston Gooze, janitor at behemoth pharmaceutical factory BTH and widower stepdad to young Wade (Room’s Jacob Tremblay). When Winston is diagnosed with a terminal brain condition, he’s dismayed to find his health insurance doesn’t cover the treatment. After a series of events involving a pink tutu, a glowing green mop and a half-arsed robbery, Winston ends up chucked into a vat of BTH’s goopy industrial waste — and emerges as the green-skinned, super-strong ‘Toxic Avenger’, set to seek vengeance on those who’ve wronged him.
