The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that there’s yet to be a host chosen for this year’s Oscars ceremony. Still, the organization behind the award show has reportedly reached out to the 25-year-old superstar.
Tom Holland, the Avenger of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), recently shared with THR about his interest in hosting the 2022 Oscars.

Now that the Academy Award has reached out to Holland, it’s more than possible that we see the world’s most famous superhero hand out this year’s awards to top-tier films (including No Way Home!):
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Holland, the star of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the biggest blockbuster of the pandemic, expressed interest in hosting the Oscars, and THR has learned that the Academy did reach out to him to explore that possibility.
If Tom Holland is this year’s Oscar host, he could very well hand out an award to fellow Spider-Man and good friend Andrew Garfield for his Golden Globe award-winning performance in Tick, Tick… Boom! (2021).
Interestingly enough, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are campaigning for Spider-Man: No Way Home — which has grossed over $1.5 billion globally and currently sits at a historic 8.9 rating on IMDb — to be considered for every Academy Award nomination category, including the prestigious Best Picture.
