Bam Margera Settles Beef with 'Jackass' Co-Star Johnny Knoxville for Archival Footage Role in New Movie.
Former MTV star Bam Margera has put his differences with former "Jackass" co-star Johnny Knoxville aside, allowing his previously unseen stunt footage to be featured in the upcoming fifth installment of the film franchise. According to reports, Margera reached a deal with Knoxville and Paramount Pictures that will include the archival clips in the movie, which is set to hit theaters on June 26th.
The news comes as a turnaround for Margera, who was kicked off "Jackass Forever" in 2021 following a dispute over his substance abuse issues. He had previously claimed that the terms of his required drug and alcohol tests didn't account for his long-term prescription medication use, leading to a lawsuit against Knoxville, Paramount Pictures, and producer Spike Jonze.
However, it appears that Margera has put his past differences with Knoxville aside in order to contribute to the new film. The decision comes after Margera's legal team from Philadelphia-based Van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim posted a photo of themselves with their client on social media, with Margera expressing gratitude for their work.
The agreement marks a significant shift in Margera's stance on the project, as he had previously stated that he had no interest in future involvement. In an interview last year, Margera said that "the damage has been done" and that he couldn't be tempted to do another 'Jackass' film with Knoxville due to past tensions.
Despite this, it seems that Margera is willing to put his differences aside for the sake of contributing to the new movie. The project will feature archival footage from Margera's stunts, as well as new material from the rest of the cast. A spokesperson for the film announced on social media that "Jackass 5" will be released on June 26th, with more details about the project set to be revealed in the coming months.
It remains to be seen how Margera's archival footage will fit into the overall narrative of the new film, but it appears that he has finally put his past differences with Knoxville aside.

. it just goes to show that you can work through things and come out stronger on the other side. i'm actually kinda stoked for the new jackass film, especially since we get to see bam's old footage again 
. though, i gotta wonder how they're gonna incorporate all that archival stuff into the movie... hopefully it doesn't feel like a bunch of outtakes or something 
. anyhoo, i'm just happy to see bam moving forward and contributing to the project 
.
I think this is a pretty interesting development for Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville. It's good to see them putting their differences aside, especially since Margera was removed from the previous "Jackass" film due to substance abuse issues. 
The fact that he's willing to contribute to the new movie by sharing his archival footage suggests that he's moved forward and is ready for a fresh start.
I'm curious to see how this plays out, especially since it's set to hit theaters in just a few months.
its like, closure and all that jazz. idk about the archival footage tho, im not sure how itll fit into the movie but hey, at least bam gets to be a part of it and show off some old skills 
the lawsuit thing was pretty messy so its good he settled it down. now lets just hope they dont mess up the new film 
He seemed like such a wild card back in the day and I love how he's putting the past behind him for this movie project 
Can't wait to see how the new film turns out!
and now they're just gonna work together on this new movie it's cool that he got his old footage back though i wonder if the new film is gonna be as wild as the old ones 
, I mean who would've thought he'd be teaming up with Johnny again? I guess you can never count out Margera's crazy antics 
.
now they're like besties again? how's that gonna play out in the movie tho? is bam just gonna sit back and watch johnny be the star or are they actually gonna do some new stunts together? also, what's up with paramount pictures handling all this drama behind the scenes? did they have to negotiate a peace treaty between bam and johnny? 
. it's cool that he was able to work things out, now we get to see some sweet footage from back in the day 
. life's all about forgiveness and moving on, maybe margera learned that the hard way but now he gets a new chance to shine 
.
i feel bad for him, to be honest, he's been through some stuff lately. he's been open about his struggles with addiction and substance abuse on social media, and it's crazy to think that's still a big part of his life 
anyway, i guess this is a good opportunity for him to make amends and show the world that he's moving forward 
i'm actually kinda excited to see how it all plays out in the new movie 
. It's also great to see Bam taking care of himself and working with a good lawyer - that lawsuit was a long time coming! 
. It's like he was trying to prove a point or something? Either way, I'm stoked that we get to see some of his old antics on the big screen again 
. And I'm curious, will the new film be more than just a rehashing of old stuff, or will it bring some fresh energy to the franchise? 
. But hey, I guess it's good for him to finally move on and get some closure, right? Maybe the archival footage will even be semi-interesting to watch, lol... Can't say I'm stoked about it or anything though 
. Like, what's the point of even trying to make a new film if you're just gonna throw in some old clips? It feels like he's just doing this for the sake of doing it, you know? 
. I mean, who doesn't love seeing old Jackass footage again, right? 
It's all like a big mystery or something... 
Like, it might've been better for everyone if he just put the drama aside and moved on. But at the same time, I don't want him to be like "oh yeah I'll do it this time but only because I have to"
