Peter Dinklage remains clueless about the release of his highly acclaimed movieThe Toxic Avenger. It’s been a year since it premiered at the Fantastic Fest, and it still doesn’t have a worldwide release date.
It doesn’t make sense given the fact that it received high praise and ratings from the critics who went to the screening, and the rare updates haven’t been helpful as well. However, the actor has recently broken his silence regarding the movie’s situation, though it’s something fans won’t like.
Peter Dinklage Reveals Latest Update OnThe Toxic Avenger
After his iconic stint inGame of Thrones, actorPeter Dinklageworked on the remake of 1984’sThe Toxic Avengerwith director Macon Blair at the helm. The project has been a long-gestating one as its initial production dates back as early as 2010. Various filmmakers and writers have been attached to it, and Dinklage’s involvement was only announced in 2020.
He plays Winston Gooze, a janitor who transforms into a deformed superhero after getting exposed to toxic waste. With his newfound powers, he gets back on the bad guys who have wronged him.
The most recent update on the movie was reported byColliderafter the outlet caught up with Dinklage. Like before, the actor still remains in the dark. He expressed his enthusiasm for working with the director, even vowing to collaborate with him on every possible project. “Fingers crossed, it’ll see cinemas soon,” he said regarding the film. He also joked to fans to “write to your congressmen” in hopes of getting more help.

In a previous interview withComic Book, he admitted not having any clue about the possible date of the film’s release because he isn’t one of the producers. “I do want it to get out there into the world because it was a really big hit,” he stated, hopeful that it will “have its day in the toxic sun”.
It’s true, the movie was a massive triumph during its screening in Austin. In fact, it received a staggering 92% approval rating onRotten Tomatoes, so it’s a mystery why Legendary Pictures still couldn’t grant it a theatrical schedule.
Producer ClaimedThe Toxic AvengerIs “Unreleasable”
Amid the several speculations as to whyThe Toxic Avengerremains unpublished, a Hollywood producer reportedly toldWorld of Reelthat Dinklage’s superhero movie is “unreleasable” and if it ever gets picked up, it will head straight to a streaming platform or video on demand.

The project is a bit challenging to market because it has a specific niche audience and the studio might find difficulty in shopping it around. The worst thing that could happen is for it to end up becoming a “lost media”.
Legendary Pictures is probably still contemplating the movie’s profitability. Regardless, Dinklage and fans of the franchise remain positive it will be picked up one way or another.
