Bam Margera Rejects New Jackass Stunts The original cast member will not film new scenes for the upcoming fifth movie.
Summer Release Date
Johnny Knoxville announced that a fifth Jackass film will arrive this summer. It is set to hit theaters on 26 June.
Knoxville described the new movie as a much riskier installment. Meanwhile, other cast members like Steve-O have shared their excitement online.
Old Footage Only
Bam Margera revealed he will not film new stunts for the project. However, he gave the crew permission to use his old clips.
He remembers filming many crazy scenes that never made it into earlier films. He told the team to sift through that footage for the new movie.
Feelings of Abandonment
The 46-year-old admitted he still feels hurt after being cut from Jackass Forever. He sued the creators for wrongful termination before reaching a private settlement.
Margera claimed the legal battle and treatment costs caused him a lot of PTSD. He also felt deep humiliation from the entire situation.
“I’ve just accepted the fact that I don’t want anything to do with it anymore.”
Hope for Redemption
Steve-O believes there is still a path back for his old friend. He hopes the original crew can eventually ride off into the sunset together.
Still, Margera insists he has no desire to return for one last dance. Finally, he stated that the embarrassment of the past remains too great.
