Overview
- On June 24 Musso made his first podcast appearance and explained he declined to appear on the March 20th‑anniversary Disney+ special because it was a retrospective rather than a scripted return to his character Oliver.
- He told the Joe Vulpis Podcast that he would agree to rejoin Hannah Montana only for a scripted episode or movie that brings back Oliver rather than for a non‑narrative reunion format.
- Musso said that while the show was at its peak cast members were contractually tied to Disney, which he said prevented him from taking other offers during the run of Hannah Montana.
- He said those contractual limits cost him opportunities he might otherwise have taken, with media reporting he missed chances including a reported offer to voice Aang, and that he largely stepped away from Hollywood over the past decade.
- Musso emphasized close, formative bonds with his co‑stars and his comments have renewed public and fan discussion about a narrative reunion, though Disney has not announced any scripted follow‑up.
