Breaking: I can confirm Jackass 5 is locked for a theatrical release this June. Johnny Knoxville is back in the driver’s seat, steering the pain train straight into summer. The crew’s signature mix of real stunts, shameless pranks, and wild friendship is headed to the big screen again. Strap in. The boys are not done.
Jackass 5 hits theaters in June. The big screen chaos returns this summer.
Why Jackass Still Belongs on the Big Screen
Jackass is a group sport. You hear every gasp. You feel every flinch. Laughter rolls across the theater like a wave. That communal shock is part of the magic. It is physical comedy you can feel in your seat.
Two decades on, the formula still works. Real risk, real reactions, and real heart. Knoxville remains the ringmaster with nerves of steel and a grin that dares you to look away. The prank may be savage, but the tone is strangely warm. It is a found family, battered and bonded, and the audience is in on it.
Summer Strategy, Simple
A June date tells you everything. The studio wants an event. Summer movie season needs pure crowd energy, not just capes and cars. Jackass fills that lane. It is quick-hit, laugh out loud, and built for friends who want to yell and wince together.
A Jackass movie is also great counterprogramming. No homework. No lore to study. You buy a ticket, you get jokes, bruises, and chaos. That straightforward promise is gold in a busy summer lineup.
The Big Questions Before the Trailer
This confirmation locks the month, but leaves the mystery. That is part of the fun. Here is what I am watching as the first footage approaches:
- Who is back with Knoxville, and who is stepping in for fresh pain
- How the stunts will level up on a bigger canvas and still surprise us
- Which celebrity guests will drop by for a dare, a scare, or both
- How the team will push limits while protecting bodies that have already given a lot
Safety matters more than ever. The crew is older, the scale keeps growing, and fans will notice how the film manages risk.

Celebrity Angles, Fan Energy
Knoxville is not just a daredevil. He is a pop culture North Star for reckless charm. When he shows up in a crisp suit with a crooked smile, you know madness is coming. The brand he built still has pull. It made stunt comedy mainstream. It inspired a generation of YouTubers, late night bits, and even sports cameos that chased the same adrenaline.
Expect the film to lure a few brave friends. Jackass movies love surprise faces. Musicians, athletes, comics, and actors all want that badge of honor. You can feel the reunion vibe humming already. The soundtrack will likely lean loud and fast, a nod to the franchise’s skate punk roots. That sound and style always set the beat for the pain.
Fans who grew up with this crew now bring their friends. Some bring their siblings. They know the rhythms. The countdown looks, the wide eyes, the cackling payoff. It is a ritual, and a good one.
What Happens Next
The trailer is the fuse. Once we see the first montage, the stunts become the conversation. Expect creative set pieces, tight group chaos, and at least one bit that makes you look through your fingers. Rating details will land closer to release, but the tone will be clear. This is Jackass, not a gentle ride.
Merch, posters, and ticket campaigns will follow fast. Opening weekend will be a party. Theaters should brace for booming laughs and a lot of stories told in the lobby after.
Best way to see Jackass 5, a packed evening show with people ready to howl. Plan the group now.
Why This Still Hits
Jackass gives us something simple and rare. Real stakes without the grim tone. Pain turned into a punchline, but wrapped in friendship. It is slapstick for the modern age, performed by people who know the craft and trust each other. That trust is the secret. We laugh because the shock is real, and the love is too.
The June date is smart. The appetite is there. The big screen still loves a movie that plays like a concert, loud and communal. Jackass has always been that show.
Conclusion
The kings of creative pain are clocking in for summer. Jackass 5 plants its flag in June, with Johnny Knoxville leading the charge and a full slate of bruises on the way. The questions will keep us buzzing until the trailer drops, but the core promise is locked. Real stunts. Real laughs. Real mayhem. See you in the splash zone. Bring ice.
