Due to the success of the original film, it spawned off a low-budget superhero franchise consisting of three film sequels titled The Toxic Avenger Part II, The Toxie Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie, and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
Coming off from the critical success of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Deadline brings rising actress Taylour Paige has been tapped to star as the female lead opposite Peter Dinklage in Legendary’s upcoming Toxic Avenger reboot.
The Toxic Avenger remake is described as a contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s 1984 cult classic dark comedy that subverts the superhero genre akin to Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool.
This marks Paige’s first high-profile project as one of the leads and her first project in the superhero genre.
