Ryan Reynolds reacts to rumours of him hosting Oscars with Hugh Jackman

Actor Ryan Reynolds dispelled rumours of him hosting the 2025 Oscars along with his Deadpool vs Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman. Earlier, it was abuzz that the actor duo might reunite to host the 97th Academy Awards set to be held on March 2, 2025.
While speaking to Variety for the Awards Circuit podcast, Ryan Reynolds addressed the reports and denied them. The 48-year-old star said, “No, I don’t— historically speaking, that is a difficult job, you know. We’ve had people that have come before us that did it flawlessly, I think, and you’ve had people who are so talented and just based on what’s happening out there in the zeitgeist you’re like, ‘Oh, that was hard. It’s a very hard job’.”
Ryan continued, “It (Hosting the Oscars) would be a dream to do it one day. I’ll say that. I’m really just spending the year writing a movie for myself, Hugh (Jackman) and Shawn (Levy) to do that is not Marvel, and that’s kind of it.”
The 2025 Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, Jimmy Kimmel and comedian John Mulaney declined offers to host the ceremony.
