Paramount Pictures has officially confirmed the release of “Jackass 5” in theaters on June 26. This exciting news comes from a recent Instagram post shared by Johnny Knoxville, the renowned star of the franchise.
“Jackass 5” Announcement
The announcement was made via a collaborative post on Instagram, featuring Knoxville, the official “Jackass” account, and Gorilla Flicks, a production company led by Jeff Tremaine. The message conveyed a sense of enthusiasm about the return of the franchise, stating, “We wanted to let you know that this summer ‘Jackass’ is back!!”
Behind the Scenes of the Franchise
This new installment will arrive four years after “Jackass Forever,” which showcased a mix of outrageous stunts and pranks performed by both veteran members and newcomers. The previous film included scenes where Knoxville faced an angry bull and Steve-O encountered bees, epitomizing the wild spirit of the series.
