THR has confirmed that Peter Dinklage has been tapped to star in the reboot of the 1980s cult property, The Toxic Avenger.
Per the outlet, the 1984 film is “centered on a mild-mannered man named Melvin, who becomes disfigured after falling into a vat of toxic waste, and goes on to fight bad guys under the superhero name Toxie. Toxic Avenger went on to be Troma’s biggest hit and the character became a mascot for the outfit.”
