Overcoming the Bull: Knoxville's Defiant Return

The announcement comes as a surprise given Knoxville's history of severe injuries. During the filming of the previous movie, a stunt involving a bull left him with a concussion, a broken wrist, and a brain hemorrhage. Neurologists warned him that another hit could be fatal. However, Knoxville admitted he’s "addicted" to the adrenaline of big stunts, choosing to return to the big screen despite his family's concerns.
