The hosts of the 2016 MTV Movie Awards have been revealed: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, stars of the upcoming action comedy CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, will host the ceremony.
This year’s show will be held at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California on Saturday, April 9th and will air on Sunday, April 10th, at 8:00 p.m local time. For the first time ever, MTV will take the show outdoors and onto the backlot to capture the essence of movie-making magic against a dramatic nighttime backdrop.
As of yet, there have been no performers and presenters who have been confirmed and they will be announced at a later date.
“It’s an honor to be hosting the ‘MTV Movie Awards’ with a guy who’s not only one of the funniest guys on the planet, but who’s often mistaken as my twin, Kevin Hart,” said Dwayne Johnson. “We live for our fans and promise to make this an epic, historic unforgettable night for them.”
“I love hosting – it’s my thing,” said Kevin Hart. “Dwayne and I are the perfect team for the epic 25th anniversary show. It’s going to go down.”
“Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart define what it means to be modern movie stars,” said Executive Producer Casey Patterson. “They have a direct and personal relationship with their fans, who love them for it and have made them two of the biggest entertainers in the world. They are bringing the action and comedy to the big 25th anniversary of the ‘MTV Movie Awards,’ which makes me excited and frankly a little afraid. Double trouble!”
2016 MTV Movie Awards takes place on April 9th, 2016 and will be broadcast April 10th, 2016.
