Jacob Tremblay has been in The T༺oxic Avenger opposite Peter Dinklage, reports.

The Toxic Avenger follows a struggling everyman who is pushed in𒊎to a vat of toxic waste and transformed into a mutant freak. He must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as h💟e races to save his son, his friends, and his community from the forces of corruption and greed. The movie will have strong environmental themes and will reportedly subvert the superhero genre in the same vein as Deadpool.

The upcoming movie is aꦜ reimagining of th꧂e low-budget 1984 action comedy of the same name. It became a cult classic and went on to spawn three sequels, a stage musical production, a video game, and an animated children's TV series. The original movie's directors, Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, are on board to produce the remake.

Tremblay rose to fame at nine years old for his role in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Room, which he starred in alongside Brie Larson. He's also had lead roles in Wonder and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pixar's upcoming animation Luca. He'll also voice Flounder in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Dinklage, meanwhile, is best known for playing Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. He's also had big-screen roles in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:X-Men: Days of Future Past, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War.

Macon Blair will write and direct the project – the actor's second time in the director's chair after his 2017 debut I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore starring Elijah Wood. His acting credits include movies like The Florida Project, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Logan Lucky, and I Care a Lot (alongside Dinklage).
