THE TOXIC AVENGER Takes Over Chicago To Make St. Patrick's Day Greener Than Ever!

St. Patrick’s Day is one known for green beer, Irish food, and green water…that is, if you live in Chicago where they dye the river green. With all this emphasis on green, it just makes sense that the Toxic Avenger would make an appearance, and this year he busted out of Tromaville and jetted over Chicago for their historic St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Toxie sightings outside of New Jersey are rare, so the fact that these photos were captured isn’t just a miracle, it’s toxically awesome!

Directed & written by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), the reboot of the 1980s dark cult comedy stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage ("Game of Thrones") as the titular character "Toxie," with Kevin Bacon (They/Them, Hollow Man), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder) and Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Zola) also starring. 

Synopsis: 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.

THE TOXIC AVENGER is distributed by Cineverse, and produced by Legendary Entertainment. 

Check out the photos from the celebrations this past weekend, and get ready for “The Toxic Avenger” to take over theaters in August 2025!
