The dynamic duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, known for their roles as Deadpool and Wolverine respectively, are rumored to be in the running to co-host the 2025 Oscars. Their comedic timing and on-screen chemistry have made them fan favorites, and their recent guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live! has sparked speculation about their potential to take on the prestigious role. The pair’s candidacy comes after Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney declined the hosting gig, prompting ABC to consider an ensemble of rotating hosts. This includes reaching out to other celebrities such as Amy Poehler and Dwayne Johnson, in a strategic move to bring fresh energy to the awards show.
Reynolds and Jackman have a history with the Oscars, with Jackman having previously hosted the 81st ceremony and served as a presenter on multiple occasions. His performance as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables earned him a Best Actor nomination, and there is potential for another nod for his role as Logan in the upcoming awards season. Reynolds has also made appearances at the Oscars, presenting during the 2010 ceremony. The duo’s latest collaboration, Deadpool & Wolverine, has been submitted for awards consideration, with Reynolds and Jackman in the running for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, respectively.
The success of Deadpool & Wolverine has further solidified their status as a powerhouse team in the entertainment industry. The film’s record-breaking box office success, surpassing even the likes of Joker, has positioned it as a major contender in the awards race. With the support of Marvel Studios and Disney, the movie’s ensemble cast and unique place in the MCU could make it a standout at the upcoming ceremonies, potentially leading to Reynolds and Jackman’s historic hosting of the Oscars.
