Although Jackass 5 is confirmed and can launch this June, it is unclear if franchise mainstay Bam Margera will probably be a part of the forged. Initially debuting as a short-lived TV sequence on MTV, Jackass blossomed right into a popular culture phenomenon within the early 2000s. The ridiculous stunts and oddball antics of the forged have been in contrast to something seen on TV earlier than.
The franchise expanded with the discharge of Jackass: The Film in 2002, and sequels have been launched periodically ever since. Solid members like Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and Chris Pontius have been alongside for the trip because the very starting, and are very doubtless going to return within the upcoming fifth movie. Nevertheless, Bam Margera’s return is lots much less sure.
What Bam Margera Has Mentioned About A Potential Jackass Return
In a dialog with Cinema Mix, Bam Margera made his ideas clear when it got here to reuniting with the traditional Jackass crew for an additional spherical of stunts. Bam mentioned, “you could not supply me sufficient cash to wish to do one other Jackass with them.“ He added a notice of finality to the subject, stating, “The harm has been performed.”
The harm in query is Margera’s lawsuit towards the producers of Jackass Eternally, the fourth fundamental film within the franchise’s filmography. Although nothing is ever off the desk within the realm of showbusiness, lawsuits are inclined to poison the properly of any skilled relationship and no quantity of nostalgia or cash is prone to overcome that hurdle.
Nevertheless, Margera is open to different stunt and prank-related tasks, simply not with Knoxville or the remainder of the forged. Sadly, with out the recognizable title of Jackass behind such tasks, they don’t seem to be as prone to seize the eye of a 2020s viewers. Contemplating the truth that Margera made these statements in July 2025, little has in all probability modified since then.
What Occurred With Bam Margera On Jackass Eternally
When Jackass Eternally premiered in 2022, Bam Margera was noticeably absent from the forged. Although he appeared briefly in a single stunt phase, he was not a fundamental fixture like he had been prior to now. That is due to an advanced battle behind the scenes by which Margera was fired from the movie for allegedly breaking his sobriety.
Although the Viva La Bam star initially admitted he had truly violated his sobriety settlement, he finally modified his story to say he was fired for taking legally-prescribed medicines. He then filed a lawsuit towards Paramount, MTV, Johnny Knoxville and several other different events, alleging he was wrongfully dismissed after being coerced into signing a wellness settlement whereas in rehab.
The lawsuit was dismissed later in 2022, with prejudice, that means Margera couldn’t convey it up once more. Although the lawsuit finally ended up going nowhere, the producers of Jackass 5 in all probability will not be seeking to work with Margera quickly. Whether or not his firing was justified or not, his lawsuit has in all probability made a franchise return unimaginable.
