Superheroes don’t all come from Marvel and DC. Already in 1984 the cult film Atomic Hero – The Toxic Avenger was made with 1000 gross scenes funny about radiant spandex protagonists like Superman and Co. The Toxic Avenger is a remake starring Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage. Now there is a first picture.

The reboot revolves around Winston (Dinklage), a weak-willed man who works as a janitor at a health club. He is diagnosed with a terminal illness, but his greedy employer refuses to pay for the treatment. Winston accidentally falls into a container full of toxic waste, which disfigures him terribly.

The remake is supposed to be like the original with its comedic splatter orgies not stingy with violent excesses and is R-rated in the US (cinema viewers under the age of 17 require an accompanying adult).

When exactly the trash remake will be shown in this country, has not yet been determined. Starring alongside Dinklage are Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), Kevin Bacon and Jacob Tremblay (Wonder). The original comes from the legendary splatter comedy company Troma Entertainment.
