The bigger studios like Marvel and DC are skipping out on Hall H at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and that’s allowing Ciniverse’s highly anticipated film “The Toxic Avenger” to ooze its way into the hall for a special panel on Thursday, July 24, 2025.
Writer and director Macon Blair (“I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore”), iconic Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, and an all-star cast including Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Elijah Wood (“The Lord of the Rings” franchise), Jacob Tremblay (“Room”), and Taylour Paige (“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”) will come together for a toxic takeover in support of the film’s August 29 theatrical release.
The panel will feature exclusive clips from the film, limited-edition swag for attendees, and behind-the-scenes chaos with the cast and creators.
Based on Lloyd Kaufman’s original 1984 horror/comedy, when a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.
