We already know that Peter Dinklage will star in Legendary Pictures’ reboot of The Toxic Avenger. Now, we know who the main villain will be.
The Illuminerdi reports that Elijah Wood will co-star alongside Dinklage and Jacob Tremblay. The outlet also provides the description of the character Wood will play:
Bob Garbinger (40-50) – Leonine hair and eerie plastic surgery. The evil head of the shady company Garb X. He has no regard for the well-being of anyone but himself and embarks on a murderous spree to become as powerful as Toxie. His ego is bolstered by his standing amongst the town’s officials but in reality, he lives in fear of the underworld gang he’s indebted to.
Wood also confirmed his involvement in the project on Twitter, so it looks like this movie is shaping up! Here is the official logline for The Toxic Avenger:
Based on the 1984 cult classic of the same name. Set in a fantasy world following Winston, a stereotypical weakling who works as a janitor at Garb-X health club and is diagnosed with a terminal illness that can only be cured by an expensive treatment that his greedy, power hungry employer refuses to pay for. After deciding to take matters into his own hands and rob his company, Winston falls into a pit of toxic waste and is transformed into a deformed monster that sets out to do good and get back at all the people who have wronged him.
