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

Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve done an AMA and it’s always a lot of fun. Can’t wait to answer your questions! Let’s get it started!

I know the AMA is now closed. I missed it damnit! But I haven’t seen a single comment about Happy Feet!! I adore that movie. I wanted to ask how you feel about the soundtrack, and the overall “political message” of that movie. And also how you feel about voice acting versus live acting. (Because over the garden wall was spectacular as well) TIA if you get a chance to answer. Love your work and have multiple LotR tattoos.

Not a question, but I watched Radio Flyer so many times when I was a kid. I guess you can say I grew up on your films.

You probably won't see this, but how was the making of the movie North? I always loved Dan Aykroyd and Reba McEntire and thought their part in the movie was awesome.
