Captain Marvel runtime REVEALED: How long is the Avengers Endgame prequel?

This year there are three Marvel Cinematic Universe movies being released. First up is Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel in March, followed by Avengers Endgame a month later. While Spider-Man Far From Home will arrive in July. And now the full runtime for Captain Marvel has been revealed.

AMC Theatres show the film as being two hours and ten minutes long.

Just over a couple of hours is pretty standard for an MCU solo movie.

Ant-Man and the Wasp, the latest film in the franchise to hit cinemas, clocked in at two hours and five.

While Black Panther was slightly longer at two hours and fifteen minutes long.

Of course, a bigger movie like Avengers Infinity War was always going to be very long at two hours and forty minutes.

However, it and Captain Marvel will no doubt be beaten by Avengers Endgame.

In fact, directors the Russo Brothers have teased it’s likely to be over three hours.

Speaking with EMPIRE, they said: “There’s a high probability that this movie will clock in at around three hours. It’s a big movie with a lot of story.”

Major cinematic releases are rarely over three hours, however, there’s been a few in recent years.

The 70mm version of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight was three hours and seven minutes, while Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street was exactly three hours.

However, the longest mainstream modern example has to be The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, clocking in at three hours and twenty minutes.

Captain Marvel will be released in UK cinemas on March 8 and be followed by Avengers Endgame on April 26, 2019.
