The long-awaited remake of the cult classic, The Toxic Avenger, is now available to watch at home. The film, which stars Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood, has officially landed on major digital rental and purchase platforms as of September 30, 2025. This release comes after the movie’s theatrical run that began in late August, giving fans a quick and easy way to see the splatter-filled superhero story.
Where You Can Watch The Toxic Avenger
Starting September 30, 2025, The Toxic Avenger became available for digital rental and purchase on all major video-on-demand platforms. This release is known as a Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) release. You can now find the movie on services like Amazon Video, Apple TV, YouTube, Google TV, and Fandango at Home.
The film is available in both High Definition (HD) and 4K quality. To rent the movie, the standard price is $19.99, which typically gives you a 48-hour window to watch it once you start. If you prefer to buy it permanently for your digital library, the purchase price is $24.99. On some platforms, the 4K UHD version is available for the same price as the standard HD version.
About the New Toxic Avenger Movie
This new film is a reboot of the original 1984 low-budget cult classic from Troma Entertainment. It was written and directed by Macon Blair and is produced by Legendary Entertainment alongside the original Troma founders. The story follows a janitor named Winston Gooze (played by Peter Dinklage) who has a terminal illness. After a terrible accident plunges him into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutated, super-strong hero. Now called The Toxic Avenger, or “Toxie,” he sets out on a mission to protect his community and his son from the corrupt corporate forces that wronged him.
The film features an all-star cast, including Kevin Bacon as the villainous Bob Garbinger, Elijah Wood as his brother Fritz, and Jacob Tremblay as Winston’s stepson, Wade. Critics have praised the movie for its mix of extreme gore and humor, calling it a fun and silly good time for fans of the genre.
From Theaters to Your Home
The Toxic Avenger had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest back in 2023, but its wide release in United States theaters was on August 29, 2025. Its journey to digital streaming has been relatively fast. The film’s distributor, Cineverse, announced the September 30th digital date just a few weeks after its theatrical debut.
For those who prefer physical media, The Toxic Avenger will also be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on October 28, 2025. The physical collector’s editions are reported to include special features like behind-the-scenes interviews, a director’s commentary, and a 40th-anniversary feature on the original 1984 film.
What’s Next for Streaming Subscribers
While the movie is now available to rent or buy, many viewers are wondering when it will come to a subscription streaming service where you can watch it for no extra cost. According to industry reports and patterns set by other Cineverse films, The Toxic Avenger is expected to eventually stream on the horror-focused platform Screambox, possibly in early 2026. Another potential landing spot for the film is AMC+ or Shudder, which are also horror-oriented streaming services. For now, digital rental or purchase is the only way to watch the movie at home.
A Quick Look at the Story and Cast
The official description for the film sets the stage: “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.”
