Every year, Hollywood’s biggest studios send their executives, filmmakers, and stars to Las Vegas for CinemaCon, where they wow movie theater owners (and other assorted attendees) with panels offering big announcements and sneak previews of their most highly anticipated titles. This year’s edition of the conference has offered glimpses of the first official Avengers: Doomsday trailer, an extended Supergirl clip, footage from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and Paramount’s Top Gun 3 announcement — and that’s just a small sample of the stories coming out of Caesars Palace this week. With all those special effects-heavy blockbusters vying for attention, it can be easy for so-called smaller pictures to get lost in the shuffle, but there’s one major franchise that doesn’t rely on CGI to get big reactions out of audiences, and it has some CinemaCon announcements of its own.
Per Variety, the fifth and final Jackass movie now has a title as well as an officially confirmed release date. Fittingly dubbed Jackass: Best and Last, the series’ latest sequel is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 26 — a scheduling decision that’ll see it facing off against Supergirl in a true David vs. Goliath battle for filmgoers’ ticket money. The announcement came alongside the premiere of the Jackass: Best and Last trailer, which is described as a combination of archival footage spliced between new stunts that run the painful gamut from a robot-administered prostate exam, a genital shock collar, and an “escape room from hell.” Pretty much par for the course from the Jackass crew, in other words.
Franchise co-creator and mainstay Johnny Knoxville was on hand for the unveiling, and while he and his cohorts have openly mused many times over the years about hanging it up and walking away from the physically punishing antics that fuel these movies, he insisted they really mean it this time. “My name is Johnny Knoxville, and I’m going to try to not get emotional,” he told the crowd. “This is the last Jackass film the world will ever see. Jackass means a hell of a lot for me. We knew we were making the last one, so we went extra hard to make sure this was also our best Jackass film ever.”
Fans will have to wait until June 26 to see everything Jackass: Best and Last has in store for them, but one thing they can count on is a slightly new approach from Knoxville, who admitted a couple of months ago that he had to take serious health concerns into consideration while planning how he’d put his body at risk for the final chapter. “I can’t do anything where I can get another concussion,” he was quoted as saying during a January 2026 appearance on the Books That Changed My Life podcast. Explaining that he’s “way over my limit for concussions,” he assured everyone he’d still be almost as reckless as ever. “I don’t care about anything else,” Knoxville explained. “I just can’t get hit in the head anymore.”
