Because while both The Avengers and Age of Ultron ( and Captain America: Civil War, which was basically an Avengers movie in all but name) have proven that Marvel is capable of delivering on the big team-up epic front, Infinity War is on another level entirely and could very easily have crumpled under the weight of its own lofty ambitions in less capable hands. Everything in this film, from the production to the story itself, is massive in scale and scope, to the point where it’s hard not to wonder if it’s all too much.

For those not keeping track, Infinity War is the ninteeenth installment in a franchise that has been going strong for a full decade, featuring a cast that counts dozens of Hollywood A-listers on its roster. The film is slated for an April 26 release.Marvel is referring to Avengers: Infinity War as the “biggest crossover event” in movie history and while that statement has led to all sorts of fantastic memes in the months leading up to release, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t true. So for us, that’s what it…It’s, ‘how does it feel?’ And every version of ‘Endgame’ thus far, and the ones that we’re honing in on, feel very good.”īy comparison, other Marvel films such as the recent Captain Marvel and Ant-Man and the Wasp have lingered around the two-hour mark.Įndgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and others. And some movies can be three and a half hours and feel like 90 minutes. Now, some movies can be 90 minutes and feel like they’re four hours. Every movie should feel like it’s an hour and 45 minutes.

It’s gonna be the exact running time that the movie needs to be.” I’m telling you this, it’s gonna be perfect. He told Collider, “We’re gonna release the movie at the exact right running time. Marvel president Kevin Feige has stressed that the studio doesn’t believe in mandating runtimes. This one, in particular, feels like three hours worth of real estate.” The Russos said that a nearly complete cut of the film was hanging around the ‘three-hour mark’ in February. “When you have to tell a really complicated story and you want strong emotional moments with the characters, it just requires a certain amount of real estate. Emotion is an intrinsic part of that to us,” the Russos told Collider recently. “This is a culmination film of 22 movies, it’s a lot of storytelling to work into it. Infinity War clocked in at 149 minutes, the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ran three hours and three minutes long, while the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen (also by director Zack Snyder) ran more than three-and-a-half hours long.ĭirectors Joe & Anthony Russo have long maintained that the film will be around three hours long. The news has since been confirmed by online ticketing site Fandango. This runtime makes Endgame not only the longest MCU movie by far - the record was previously held by Avengers: Infinity War - but also the longest (theatrical) modern superhero movie.


The official AMC Theatres website has seemingly confirmed unsubstantiated reports that were doing the rounds over the weekend that the film will clock in at 182 minutes (that’s three hours and two minutes). We’ve always known that Avengers: Endgame would be a long movie - perhaps even the longest Marvel movie - but we didn’t know exactly how long it’ll actually be - until now.
