Beyond "Deadpool & Wolverine": Academy Reportedly Eyeing Rotating Star Hosts for 97th Oscars

Marvel Cinematic Universe's 34th film, "Deadpool & Wolverine," is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated superhero films of the year. The movie's success has not only generated massive online buzz, but its two stars, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, have also repeatedly become a focal point of discussion due to their humorous interactions.

Now, it appears this dynamic duo is also set to grace the stage of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025. This doesn't just mean they could be vying for major awards; they might even take the stage as co-hosts for the upcoming ceremony.

Indeed, earlier reports from foreign media had already suggested that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was interested in inviting the two buzzworthy stars, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, to take on hosting duties for the next Oscars ceremony.

Beyond the "Deadpool & Wolverine" stars, entertainment outlet Deadline also reported that the Academy is considering other prominent figures, including Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, to host the 97th Academy Awards. Deadline indicated that the Academy hopes a rotating host format will bring more diversity and a fresh feel to the awards show.

While Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have yet to comment on these reports, given the immense buzz surrounding their film "Deadpool & Wolverine" and its stellar global box office performance, the Academy's consideration of them is certainly logical. Whether this plan comes to fruition remains to be seen.
