Summary
- Johnny Knoxville has officially announced that Jackass 5 will serve as the final installment in the stunt comedy series
- The film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 26, featuring the original crew and new additions
Johnny Knoxville has officially driven a stake into the heart of the Jackass franchise, confirming that the upcoming Jackass 5 will be the crew’s final rodeo. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 55-year-old stuntman stated that the fifth theatrical installment, set for release this summer, “will be the last one.”
“This is the natural place to end,” he shared of the series that began on MTV over two decades ago. “So it’s going to be absolutely awful.” The film is slated to arrive on June 26, bringing back veterans like Steve-O and Chris Pontius alongside the newer cast members introduced in Jackass Forever.
Despite the sentimental farewell, fans should not expect a toned-down production. Knoxville described the upcoming film as a “f**king train wreck,” urging audiences to hope for disaster. “That’s what you should hope for. I think we designed it that way,” he stated. While Knoxville himself is medically barred from concussive stunts following his encounter with a bull in the previous film, he teased that the team is chasing a “white whale” stunt they have never been able to pull off, ensuring the saga ends on a chaotic high.
Jackass 5 lands in theaters June 26.
