Oscars Producers Tease ‘Bridesmaids,’ Marvel Reunions-May 2024
May 23, 2026 9:39 PM

Oscars telecast executive producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor confirmed that a special Bridesmaids reunion will take place during the ceremony on Sunday, and teased a Marvel reunion as well.

The duo took part in a press conference alongside host Conan OBrien, music director Michael Bearden,

production designer Misty Buckley and supervising choreographer Mandy Moore, moderated by Rotten Tomatoes awards editor Jacqueline Coley, on Wednesday.

We have a huge reunion happening, Kapoor, who is also the showrunner, said. Theres been rumors of what that is, and we are very excited to announce that we have a Bridesmaid reunion that is going to be very special. Mullan added: Theres also going to be a Marvel reunion for the superhero fans. So were gonna have superstar superheroes, and there is also going to be an extraterrestrial on the stage. So you can figure that one out.

Last week, Variety reported that a Bridesmaids reunion would be taking place during the telecast for its 15th anniversary. Rose Byrne, nominated this year for her performance in If I Had Legs Id Kick You, is set to appear with costars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy.

The two EPs also answered questions about the In Memoriam section after this years many industry deaths. It has been a really, really tough year this year, so the In Memoriam has been something weve been talking about for many, many months, said Mullan. Weve lost a huge amount of people this year who are so meaningful to so many in the film community. We take it really, really seriously. We have been have many, many discussions. It continues to change right up until rehearsal, because we want to get the strike, the balance, just right and make sure that it feels like the right moment in the show for the moment in time. So I guess we cant really go into detail of what its going to be this year, but we really hope that it is a tribute that moves people and feels like it does the incredible people weve lost this year justice.

Specifically probed about how they plan to honor Rob Reiner, Kapoor said, Like Katy said, I dont feel like were at a place where we want to share what exactly what were doing for In Memoriam. All I can say is that a lot of time and thought has been put into the process of creating something really meaningful that has a lot of emotion and heart.

More to come.
