In a surprise cheeky move, esteemed actor Peter Dinklage, renowned for his portrayal of the cunning and witty Tyrion Lannister in the popular show "Game of Thrones," has swapped the grandiose world of dragons and palace intrigue for the grime-encrusted underbelly of Tromaville. Yes, you heard it here first. Dinklage has effectively traded in his dragon and goblet for radioactive sludge and a mop in the upcoming reboot of Troma's cult classic: 'The Toxic Avenger.' Dinklage will unleash his vengeance upon unsuspecting evildoers as the titular character, Toxic Avenger, known to his friends (and foes) as "Toxie." "There's a part of me that's eager to play a mutated janitor who fights crime," Dinklage told reporters. "I mean, who doesn't dream of trading in dragon fire for toxic waste? Plus, someone has to keep the streets of Tromaville clean." The first look at the revitalized avenger was revealed yesterday, painting a picture of a character who holds nothing back when it comes to battling evil. He clearly understands the responsibility that comes with being a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. An April Fool's prank, you wonder? Well, one look at "Toxie" and it's clear that Dinklage is truly in his element here. So much for the Iron Throne, huh Peter? "Peter Dinklage as 'Toxic Avenger,' is one of those revelations that make you think 'why didn't I think of that sooner?'" shared the director. "The intriguing blend of his legendary wit and gravitaş will breathe new life into Toxie." The esteemed Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas hasn't been this pumped since someone thought it was a brilliant idea to deep-fry a Mars Bar. The festival has announced the film's premiere next month via Twitter, with fans of the 80s cult film tripping over their shoelaces in anticipation. In a world where superman flies in wearing underpants over pants and Batman wears an outfit making parents worldwide cringe about the laundry bill, it's about time someone came in to clean up. Well, folks, that time has arrived. Dinklage is set to mop up the crime-ridden streets of Tromaville. So, be prepared to trade your medieval fantasy for some atomic fun. The 'Toxic Avenger' is coming! Remain strapped in for this journey from the land of Westeros to Tromaville. As the dragon fire fizzles out, the Toxic Avenger rises from the ashes, ready to clean the mess you never knew you needed clearing.
