New ‘Jackass’ Movie Coming to Theaters in June
Not even a bull-induced brain hemorrhage and broken ribs can stop Johnny Knoxville.
A brand new “Jackass” movie will be released wide in theaters on June 26, Variety can confirm.
Knoxville teased in a vague Instagram post that the franchise would be returning to cinemas in the summer but did not explicitly mention that it is, indeed, “Jackass 5” and not a rerelease of a past project. The post was jointly uploaded by Knoxville, the official “Jackass” account and Gorilla Flicks, the production company founded by Jeff Tremaine.
The caption reads: “Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang. We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”
The new film comes four years after “Jackass Forever,” in which Knoxville was lit up by an angry bull, Danger Ehren was covered in honey and confronted by a black bear and Steve-O’s genitals were covered in bumblebees. The fourth film installment featured most of the original, aging “Jackass” stunt men and pranksters while also welcoming in some new blood, like Zach Holmes, Sean “Poopies” McInerney, Jasper Dolphin, Eric Manaka and Rachel Wolfson.
Beyond Knoxville’s involvement, the cast of “Jackass 5” has yet to be announced. It seems unlikely fans will see the return of original squad member Bam Margera, who was cut from the fourth film due to a violation of his contract relating to substance abuse. He recently told the press, “You couldn’t offer me enough money to want to do another ‘Jackass.'”
