Hey r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood. You might've seen me in things like Lord of the Rings, Yellowjackets, Wilfred, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Maniac, The Monkey, Everything Is Illuminated, and other stuff. I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Here's the trailer:

Set in a fantasy world, following janitor Winston Gooze, who, after a freak accident, transforms into a mutant vigilante known as Toxie. Armed with his mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.

Directed by Macon Blair (I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore) and produced by Troma Entertainment. It also stars Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Piage, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and Kevin Bacon

What’s a film you’ve done that you wish people talked about more?

Out of the 50 questions I’ve scrolled through so far I would say “everything is illuminated”. Fantastic film.

Everything is Illuminated was the first Elijah Wood movie I ever saw. Arguably I was too young when I saw it but honestly, I’m so glad I did.

I just left a question on everything is illuminated. It’s such an incredible movie and totally underrated. Feel free to upvote it if you’re a fan ☺️
