Bam Margera Gives Green Light to 'Archival' Footage for 'Jackass 5', Paving the Way for New Film's Release
Former 'Jackass' star Bam Margera has agreed to allow his previously unreleased stunt footage to be featured in the upcoming fifth installment of the film franchise, "Jackass 5." The decision comes after a tumultuous period between Margera and longtime collaborator Johnny Knoxville, which saw Margera being removed from the previous film, "Jackass Forever," due to a reported breach of a wellness agreement.
The terms of Margera's removal from "Jackass Forever" led to a lawsuit against Knoxville, Paramount Pictures, and producer Spike Jonze, with Margera claiming that his required drug and alcohol tests did not adequately account for his long-term prescription medication. However, the lawsuit was later dropped.
Margera has since expressed remorse over the feud, sharing a photo of himself with his legal team from Philadelphia-based Van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim on social media. While details about "Jackass 5" are still scarce, Margera's decision to allow his archival footage to be featured in the film marks a significant turning point.
The "Jackass" franchise was founded by Knoxville, who has always maintained that he and Margera have a deep affection for one another, despite their recent differences. In an interview last year, Margera stated that he had lost interest in future involvement with the project due to the difficulties he faced during its production.
The decision to feature Margera's archival footage could potentially pave the way for him to participate in new stunts for "Jackass 5," although no such plans have been confirmed. The film is set to hit theaters on June 26, and more details about the project will be released in the coming months.
