Peter Dinklage Meets Kevin Bacon in Latest THE TOXIC AVENGER Teaser (Exclusive)

Based on the Nerdist article, here's a summary of the second teaser trailer for The Toxic Avenger remake:

1. Focus on Pre-Transformation: Unlike the first glimpse, this second teaser focuses heavily on Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze  he becomes the Toxic Avenger. He's shown as a meek, unassuming janitor at a health club.
2. Introduction of the Villain: The teaser prominently features Kevin Bacon as the main antagonist, Bob Garbinger, the smug and ruthless head of the corrupt corporation Garb-X. It establishes the power dynamic and conflict between him and Winston.
3. Setting Up the Plot: It hints at the inciting incident, showing Winston discovering Garbinger's illegal dumping of toxic waste, which will presumably lead to his transformation.
4. Human Element: The teaser also shows Winston's relationship with his stepson, Wade (played by Jacob Tremblay), grounding the character before his grotesque change.
5. Toxie Still Hidden: While setting the stage, the teaser continues to keep the full look of the transformed Toxic Avenger concealed, building anticipation.
6. Tone Indication: The clip, along with the article's context, suggests the film (directed by Macon Blair) aims to blend the gore, satire, and B-movie absurdity of the Troma original with a modern sensibility and higher production value.
7. Positive Buzz: The article reiterates that the film received positive reactions following its premiere at Fantastic Fest.

In essence, the second teaser introduces the human protagonist and the primary villain, setting up their conflict and the origin story's premise, while still withholding the reveal of the titular monster.
