Brand has a history of hosting MTV awards shows, as he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards in 2008 and 2009. However, this will be his first time hosting the MTV Movie Awards.

Executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic, who worked with Brand for the VMAs, cited Brand's humor as the deciding factor in his selection as host. "He brings the funny but he also has that rock 'n' roll aesthetic," he said.
