Kevin Bacon Tapped for Villain Role in ‘Toxic Avenger’ for Legendary (Exclusive) – The Hollywood Reporter

When I first heard about this reboot I kind of shrugged my shoulders. While I remember watching The Toxic Avenger films on WPIX growing up on Long Island, I also didn’t really have a strong desire to see this character return. But once Peter Dinklage was announced it got my attention & with the addition of Kevin Bacon I am fully aware of this film.

How excited for this reboot are you?
