‘The Toxic Avenger’ Is the First Unrated Horror Movie to Host Its Own SDCC Hall H Panel!

John Squires | 07/08/2025

Iron Man. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Avengers. Deadpool & Wolverine. The famed Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con has become the go-to place for major studios to preview their upcoming big screen blockbusters, from new installments in billion dollar franchises to Marvel’s latest superhero offerings. Back in 2019, Deadline fittingly referred to San Diego Comic-Con as “Cannes for Capes,” calling Hall H “the biggest stage” at the annual event as well as “a mandatory stop for anybody in the business of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or superhero fare.”

But many of the major studios – including Marvel and WB/DC – are sitting out SDCC this year, leaving some big Hall H spots to be filled. And you better believe we’re filling one of them.

Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting are excited to announce today that director Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger will be oozing into Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this summer!

The unforgettable and wildly UNRATED panel is taking place on Thursday, July 24, 2025 from 5:30PM – 6:30PM at San Diego Comic-Con, marking the very first time that an unrated horror movie has ever hosted its own Hall H panel on the grand stage!

Before it hits theaters on August 29, 2025, writer & director Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, writer for Marvel Comics/Dark Horse Comics), iconic Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, and an all-star cast including Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder), and Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Zola) will come together for a toxic takeover.

Taking place in Hall H, the panel will feature exclusive clips from the film, limited-edition swag for attendees and behind-the-scenes chaos with the cast and creators.

We hear there’s another superhero movie coming out this Summer. But this Avenger is the hero we really need now. Primetime Emmy-winning actor Peter Dinklage stars as Toxie!

When 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. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.
