Upcoming 'TOXIC AVENGER' Remake Gets "R" Rating For "STRONG GORE" And "Brief Graphic Nudity"

“Strong Gore” and “Brief Graphic Nudity” sound right up the Toxic Avenger’s alley. And the new film on the way is getting a hard “R” rating, as it should.

Legendary Entertainment is bringing that mop wielding super hero from Jersey to the big screen once again with Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, Green Room) directing the fresh take on the Troma classic. It just wouldn’t be a Troma film with out an “R” rating and we for one are super glad it is!

The film just received its official “R” rating for…

“Strong violence and gore, language throughout, sexual references and brief graphic nudity.”

The Toxic Avenger remake doesn’t yet have a release date. Stay tuned.

Elijah Wood, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Peter Dinklage, and Jacob Tremblay lead the cast of Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger, being called a “contemporary reimagining.”

“A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action-comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool.

When a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends, and his community from the forces of corruption and greed,” Deadline previously detailed of the upcoming remake.
