Johnny Knoxville Confirms Jackass 5 Will Be the Franchise's Final Train Wreck
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Johnny Knoxville confirms that the upcoming fifth Jackass film will be the final installment in the chaotic stunt franchise, arriving this summer as a definitive series finale.
Get ready for one last round of utter chaos because the Jackass crew is gearing up for a final cinematic hurrah. According to a recent interview with Rolling Stone reported by IGN South Africa, franchise co-founder Johnny Knoxville has confirmed that the upcoming fifth film will officially be the last installment for the legendary stunt group. Scheduled to hit screens this summer, the movie promises the same signature blend of physical comedy, dangerous stunts, and absurd pranks that defined a generation of media culture.
Fans familiar with the franchise might experience a sense of deja vu since 2022's Jackass Forever was heavily marketed as a final sendoff. However, the crew is returning for one more compilation, with Knoxville noting that this particular project feels like the natural stopping point for the aging cast. The upcoming feature will also incorporate previously unseen archive footage of Bam Margera, bringing the extended family back together for the finale.
True to the spirit of the brand, Knoxville is leaning entirely into the impending disaster of the production, cheerfully describing the final product as an absolute train wreck that fans should hope goes completely wrong. While co-star Steve-O has previously pointed out that nearly every film in the series was billed as the last one, this summer release marks a definitive closing chapter for a cultural touchstone that has entertained audiences across television, home video, and social feeds for decades.
