Johnny Knoxville has finally set the record straight on whether Jackass 5 will be the final movie in the long-running franchise.
Last month, the original star announced that the beloved Jackass series is returning to the big screen with a fifth movie that will be released later this year. Fans have been wondering whether it will be the final installment in the franchise or potentially lead to more movies with younger stars to keep the brand running.
Is Jackass 5 the Final Movie in the Franchise?
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Knoxville confirmed what many fans have been suspecting all along: Jackass 5 will be the final movie in the franchise.
"This will be the last one. This is the natural place to end. So it’s going to be absolutely awful," he said.
When the interviewer told Knoxville that they are wishing all the best for the production of the fifth movie, the Jackass star quipped about the chaotic process.
"You hope it doesn’t go well at all! Should be a f***ing train wreck. That’s what you should hope for. I think we designed it that way," he joked.
Knoxville also discussed the cast's excitement about returning to the film.
He said, "They are until they get on the set. Then it’s like, “Oh, no. What are we doing?” But by that time, it’s too late [laughs]."
While Knoxville did not reveal the details of the stunts they will do for the fifth movie, he teased that they have already figured out the new antics they're set to do.
"We got it about 80 percent figured out. We’ll figure out the rest when we get there. Sometimes we have rainy-day ideas, when we can’t shoot what we were going to shoot. One day, it was just, “OK, go get Superglue!” We got a great bit just with me and the guys messing around with Superglue," he noted.
What to Expect in Jackass 5
So far, the details regarding Jackass 5 are still under wraps. While some fans have speculated that it might be a compilation movie of past installments, it is confirmed to feature new stunts as well as never-before-seen footage from previous movies. No formal title has been announced.
"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!!" Johnny Knoxville teased in his announcement post on Instagram. "More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!"
The film is currently slated for release in theaters on June 26. Jeff Tremaine, who directed the previous movies, is confirmed to helm the upcoming installment. Bam Margera is also confirmed to make an appearance through archive footage.
