A new 'Jackass' movie is coming this summer, Johnny Knoxville says

More gutwrenching stunts are coming this year, thanks to Johnny Knoxville and the "Jackass" crew.

Knoxville, who is the co-creator of "Jackass," took to Instagram on Jan. 7 to announce that a new movie is coming soon. Several outlets, including Variety and Deadline, also reported that a new film in the franchise is on the horizon.

"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!!" Knoxville wrote.

The upcoming film comes four years after the release of "Jackass Forever," the latest installment in the comedic franchise that began as a reality show on MTV.

The series, which initially aired in 2000, thrust stars like Knoxville, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn and Steve-O into mainstream media.

"Forever," released in 2022, was dedicated to original cast member Dunn, who was killed in a drunk driving crash in 2011, USA TODAY previously reported.

In response to Knoxville's announcement of the film, Steve-O said, "Yeah dude!!!"

When will the new 'Jackass' movie be released?

The new "Jackass" film will be released in theaters on June 26, according to Knoxville's post, which garnered more than 500,000 likes. He did not share any additional information about the movie.

"More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!" he continued.

'Foggy': Knoxville revealed injury after previous movie

"I stayed the weekend in the hospital and it took a few months to recover. Honestly, I was foggy," he added.
