Johnny Knoxville just dropped the ultimate New Year’s gift for chaos lovers: a brand new Jackass movie storms theaters June 26, 2026, via Paramount Pictures, promising the franchise’s signature blend of outrageous stunts, groin-busting pranks, and unbreakable bro-bonds. Four years after Jackass Forever’s $80 million worldwide haul and emotional Ryan Dunn tribute, the crew returns—Knoxville’s Instagram bomb (“wang dang and hot damn doodle”) confirms it’s fresh footage from Gorilla Flicks, not a re-release. Get ready for the fifth mainline assault on good taste and good sense.
New Jackass Movie June 26, 2026: Everything We Know About the Stunt Spectacle Sequel
Knoxville’s announcement—”We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!! We will see you in theatres June 26th”—hit Instagram January 8, 2026, co-posted with the official Jackass account and Gorilla Flicks (Jeff Tremaine’s production banner behind every film since the original). Variety confirmed it’s a wide theatrical release from Paramount, the studio that’s bankrolled the franchise since Jackass Number Two’s 2006 explosion.
Jackass Forever (2022) felt like a farewell—Knoxville’s bull-induced brain hemorrhage, Wee Man’s broken ribs, the tearful Dunn tribute—but grossed $78.3 million worldwide on $10 million budget, proving audiences crave the crew’s unfiltered idiocy even as they age (Knoxville turns 56 in March). This fifth installment (eighth if counting .5 specials) arrives amid sequel fever: Bad Boys 5, John Wick 5, and now Jackass 5, betting on nostalgia-fueled repeat viewings from millennials who grew up on MTV pranks.
Expect the core survivors: Knoxville orchestrating carnage, Steve-O swallowing horrors, Wee Man dodging giants, Preston Lacy’s slow-motion falls, Danger Ehren’s escalating risks. Jackass Forever introduced new blood—Zach Holmes (Jackass +), Sean “Poopies” McInerney, Jasper Dolphin, Eric Manaka, Rachel Wolfson—and Reddit buzz suggests they’ll expand roles, with Holmes potentially stepping up as Knoxville dials back after his 2022 injuries.
Directors Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, and Francis Lawrence return to helm segments, blending documentary chaos with precision-engineered pain—think rocket sleds, animal antics, and medical miracles. Production likely wrapped quietly (filming rumors swirled 2025), stockpiling bloopers for a .5 Netflix drop later.
June 26 pits Jackass against summer heavyweights, but its R-rated lunacy thrives on counterprogramming—families flee Superman sequels while dudes pack midnight shows for the cup-kick montages. Marketing ramps soon: first poster teases bandaged grins; trailer drops Super Bowl or spring festival. Paramount eyes $100 million global, banking on TikTok virality and 20th anniversary hype (original TV debuted 2000).
Why now? Knoxville told Variety post-Forever: “As long as we’re stupid enough to do it…” Aging gracefully? Nah—these guys weaponize midlife crises into comedy gold. Expect heartfelt moments amid mayhem: Dunn memorials evolve into legacy-building for the next gen, ensuring Jackass outlives its originators without losing the soul-crushing laughs.
Fan reactions explode: Reddit hails “elder abuse cinema,” X memes predict “Knoxville vs. hip replacement.” Risks remain—post-Forever lawsuits, insurance nightmares—but the crew’s chemistry is irreplaceable, turning potential tragedy into triumphant absurdity.
Mark calendars, stock ibuprofen—this June 26, Jackass returns to remind us: pain is temporary, but the footage is forever. Who’s ready for the wang dang doodle? Theatres await the glorious return of stunt comedy’s unbreakable idiots.
