Paramount Pictures has officially debuted the first trailer for Jackass 5, marking the return of Johnny Knoxville and his legendary crew of pranksters. This latest installment is being marketed as the definitive final chapter for the franchise that redefined gross-out stunt comedy.
The teaser opens with a high-tech robot performing a rectal exam on a screaming cast member, proving the group has not lost its appetite for shock humor. Fans can expect a mix of classic physical comedy and modern, dangerous technology throughout the upcoming film.
Johnny Knoxville confirmed during a press junket that this production serves as the farewell outing for the original lineup. After twenty-five years of broken bones and public embarrassment, the team feels it is finally time to retire the brand.
Longtime favorites like Steve-O and Wee Man are seen in the footage performing stunts that push the boundaries of safety and taste. The trailer suggests that the crew spent several years planning these elaborate sequences to ensure they go out on top.
While the Jackass crew prepares for their final bow, other major studios are also making significant moves in the streaming landscape. Netflix recently announced El Sobrino, a new cinematic project from acclaimed Wild Tales director Damián Szifron.
This upcoming Netflix film features Leonardo Sbaraglia in a leading role, adding to the platform's growing roster of international prestige cinema. The announcement has generated significant buzz among film enthusiasts who have followed Szifron's career since his Academy Award nomination.
Industry analysts predict that Jackass 5 will dominate the box office upon its release later this summer. Paramount intends to capitalize on the nostalgia of millennial audiences who grew up watching the original MTV series.
Despite the aging cast, the trailer highlights that the group remains committed to the raw energy that made them famous. The film promises to be a chaotic celebration of a quarter-century of friendship and physical trauma.
