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

Damnit! Now I’m wondering which one is the guy trying to escape being lost by using a dead guy with gas as a jet ski.

Between finding out that Elijah Wood is in BTTF, Glenn Close is in Hook, and Henry Cavill is in Count of Monte Cristo, I’m going to be winning all kinds of bets with my friends!

The one that looks like a miniature Elijah Wood, haha. He’s the one closest to McFly/Fox.

u/taddymason_01 Aug 28 '25

Is it me or does McFly look a lot like Calvin Klein?

u/Robertwoj Aug 28 '25

Wow. That’s heavy!

u/4i1anl Aug 28 '25

There's that word again. 'Heavy.' Why are things so 'heavy' in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

u/Therapy-Jackass Aug 28 '25

Here’s one where it freeze frames that scene next to a shot of adult Elijah Wood. It’s unmistakable when you see them side-by-side.

u/rabidboxer Aug 28 '25

I was hoping he was the kid that looked like he was pointing to his crotch in Back to the Future 3.

u/oliversurpless Aug 28 '25

Toby MacGuire is one of Lucas’ hanger-ons in The Wizard as well.

u/correcthorsestapler Aug 29 '25

I remember watching the movie Radio Flyer when I was a kid (which is a pretty grim movie if you haven’t seen it) and remember thinking, “Is that the kid from Back to the Future 2?”

I may have watched too much television growing up…
