Development
In a 2018 interview, Knoxville said that he is open to making a fourth Jackass film that may feature some new cast members, "just to bring in some fresh blood into it."[1] He said that he continues to write ideas for a Jackass film and that "a ton" have been set aside should the project receive the green-light. In July 2019, cast member Chris Raab said that he had interviewed the Jackass crew on his Bathroom Break podcast and noted that everyone was still open to a fourth film should Knoxville, Tremaine, and Jonze agree.[1] In an interview with The A.V. Club, Steve-O had said he was surprised the film even came to fruition.[2]
During a January 2021 podcast interview, Bam Margera indicated that Paramount regards him as a liability, owing to his behavior over the last few years. He indicated that Jeff Tremaine had fought with the studio to keep Margera in the film but Margera still wasn't certain that Paramount was going to allow him to partake in filming of the movie.[3] On February 11, 2021, Margera posted several videos to his Instagram account, in which he admitted to breaking his sobriety and claimed that he had been officially been fired from the filming of Jackass 4.[4] Throughout the video, Margera could be seen crying, vomiting, and alluding to having had looked up "how to tie a noose" before his move to Oceanside, California. Margera alleged that Paramount had been forcing him to take antidepressants, submit to random urine tests, and to check in to two different rehabilitation facilities using his own money. He also expressed disdain for Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze before asking his fans to boycott Jackass 4. He then solicited his followers to send him money in order to film his own movie to compete with Jackass 4. The videos were removed from Margera's Instagram account soon after being posted.[5][6]
Filming
Filming commenced on December 14, 2020.[7] On December 15, 2020, Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O were hospitalized due to on-set injuries.[8][9]
Release
On December 19, 2019, Paramount confirmed that a fourth Jackass film is set for production and scheduled for release on March 5, 2021.[10] In April 2020, the release date was delayed to July 2, 2021.[11] In July, the film was delayed again to September 3, 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[12]
