Johnny Knoxville confirms Jackass 5 is the last film, hitting theaters June 26 Johnny Knoxville has officially confirmed that Jackass 5 will be the final installment of the iconic stunt-comedy franchise, set to premiere in theaters on June 26, 2026. The creator and star of the series revealed the decision during an interview with Rolling Stone in late February, marking the end of a 26-year journey that began with the original Jackass film in 2000. The announcement comes as the franchise prepares to conclude its run with a mix of new stunts and previously unreleased archival footage, offering fans a final chapter in the chaotic, high-risk legacy of the series. The film, directed by Jeff Tremaine, will feature a combination of brand-new stunts filmed recently and footage from the franchise’s extensive archives that has never been publicly shown. The cast includes original members such as Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Danger Ehren, alongside newer additions like Poopies, Zach Holmes, Jasper Dolphin, Rachel Wolfson, and Eric Manaka. Notably, Bam Margera, who was famously fired during the production of Jackass Forever for violating a wellness agreement, will appear only through previously unseen archival material, with no new stunts planned for him. Knoxville’s decision to end the franchise stems from both personal and professional considerations. During the Rolling Stone interview, he emphasized that the series had reached a natural conclusion, stating, “This is the natural place to end.” The franchise, which has long been defined by its willingness to push physical and mental limits, has grown increasingly dangerous over time. Knoxville acknowledged the physical toll of the work, particularly after sustaining a serious brain injury during Jackass Forever filming.#rolling_stone #johnny_knoxville #jackass_5 #jeff_tremaine #steve_o
