After delivering the massive Marvel hit Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will reportedly reunite on the Academy Awards stage to host the ceremony.

Deadline has confirmed that the duo has been approached by the ceremony organizers, along with other celebrities like Dwayne Johnson, Will Ferrell, and Amy Poehler. Additionally, Kevin Hart and Chris Rock have not been considered for the role this year, and both Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have turned down the offer.

The offers come in for Jackman and Reynolds after the actors won over fans' hearts with their on-screen chemistry. Meanwhile, the duo previously took over the Oscars stage back in 2009. According to a few sources close to the actors, the Marvel duo has been giving mixed signals about whether they will take up the gig or not.

As per Deadline, an insider revealed, “The outreach is real, but there are mixed signals as to whether the stars are willing to participate."

They further added, "I would guess there is also the question of Disney’s and Marvel’s actual planned Oscar campaign for Deadpool & Wolverine, where I’ve heard Reynolds will be campaigned for lead actor and Jackman for supporting."
