There is still some good left in this world. We’re getting a new, still officially untitled, Jackass, and we don’t have to wait a decade like last time. The new comedy is set to arrive in June.
On January 8, Jackass ringleader Johnny Knoxville posted the iconic skull and crutches logo for the franchise on Instagram, with the date June 26 below it. In the text for the post, he confirmed that, yes, a new Jackass movie is a go. Expect lots of wild stunts, gross moments, and of course, some injuries.
“Well, a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang,” said Knoxville on Instagram. “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!”
That’s all the official information we have at the moment. We don’t know who is returning or which guest stars will be making an appearance in the upcoming comedy flick. In the last movie, 2022’s Jackass Forever, most of the original Jackass crew from the 2000s era TV show on MTV returned, with the notable exceptions of Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn. Margera has struggled with substance abuse issues for years, and while sober now, has had a rocky relationship with the Jackass crew and is likely not returning in the next film. Dunn sadly died in 2011. His last Jackass movie was 2010’s Jackass 3. For Jackass Forever, the crew also added some younger talent to help out. No word if they will be returning this time around.
The Jackass franchise is a big success for Paramount, with the four main films, and the Bad Grandpa spin-off, bringing in over $560 million worldwide at the box office on relatively tiny budgets. There was even a Jackass video game released in 2007. It was bad. Don’t play it.
