Oscars Host Search Underway with Deadpool and Wolverine in Contention, but Participation Remains Uncertain

As a seasoned gamer and a devoted fan of Marvel Cinematic Universe, I can hardly contain my excitement over the latest blockbuster collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine. The action-packed film has not only lived up to its hype but also set new standards for superhero movies.


This year’s collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine stands as the most successful superhero film release, surpassed only by Inside Out 2 in terms of box office earnings.

The movie lived up to Marvel Studios’ expectations, reigniting fans’ enthusiasm for future MCU premieres and generating impressive box office revenues. With Deadpool and Wolverine now confirmed as part of the MCU, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are once again in the limelight—possibly even hosting the Oscars this year.

With the Oscars drawing near, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are brimming with excitement. As reported by Deadline, these two are being looked at as potential hosts for the event. Given their reputation as Tinseltown’s most hilarious duo, this isn’t too far-fetched a possibility.

Stars such as Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have likewise been extended invitations, although it’s said that Johnson has turned down the offers annually.

Although Reynolds and Jackman are often mentioned as potential hosts, reports suggest that they’re yet to make a decision, as their signals are conflicting regarding their interest in this opportunity.

Furthermore, Disney and Marvel are considering a push for the Oscars with Deadpool and Wolverine, aiming to nominate Ryan Reynolds in the Lead Actor category and Hugh Jackman in the Supporting Actor category.

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe has garnered significant financial success at the box office, it has received relatively little acclaim at the Academy Awards, primarily in technical categories such as visual effects. Notable nominations include Iron Man from 2009, Iron Man 2 from 2011, The Avengers from 2013, Black Panther from 2019, and Avengers: Endgame from 2020, all of which were recognized for their impressive visual effects.

2019’s “Black Panther” made a significant impact by securing three Oscar victories in the categories of Costume Design, Original Score, and Production Design. Additionally, it garnered attention in other areas such as Makeup and Hairstyling for “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2015). Moreover, the sequel, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (2023) continued this trend with another win for Costume Design. Notably, Angela Bassett received a Supporting Actress nomination for her performance in this film.

It’s not typically expected that characters like Deadpool and Wolverine would be in the running for significant Oscar awards. However, with Marvel Studios and Disney reportedly advocating for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to win, it’s no surprise they might feel apprehensive about hosting the Oscars instead.
