Let's be honest — the moment when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) paged Captain Marvel in the Avengers: Infinity War post-credits scene, we would have signed up for another three hours in our itchy theater seats just to get an inkling of what would follow that devastating ending. Well, it looks like Captain Marvel won't be as long as we might have expected. The upcoming Marvel movie clocks in at two hours and four minutes — still an investment in time, but definitely on the shorter side as superhero blockbusters go. AMC Theaters had previously listed the film as two hours and 10 minutes long, but later changed it to be six minutes shorter. If Marvel sticks with this length, the movie will be the same duration as Captain America: The First Avenger. It's a few minutes shorter than the most recent Marvel movies — Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 have all hit on or past the two-hour-and-10-minute mark. And luckily, it's definitely no Infinity War, which is a whopping two hours and 36 minutes long. Just over two hours seems like ample time to give Carol Danvers a proper debut as Marvel's first superheroine in a solo film and showcase a stacked cast that features Brie Larson, Jude Law, Annette Bening, and Samuel L. Jackson. But of course, only time will tell when we're all hugging our popcorn tubs on March 8. In any case, you'll be able to go to the bathroom about half an hour sooner than you did for Infinity War or hop online in less time to post your juiciest fan theories. Don't expect the same brevity for Avengers: Endgame, though. The final Avengers movie is rumored to be three hours long, so, if you'll excuse us, we'll just be packing a survival kit to prep for its viewing.<doc-sep>Captain Marvel: Dramatic Super Bowl trailer for Brie Larson film FREE now and never miss the top Royal stories again.

It’s not over ’til it’s over: The case for Dortmund by Adam Stocker If you’re here, you want to find out how long Captain Marvel will be. You’re in the right place. The release of the last Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp, already feels like an age ago. Fortunately, 2019 is set to be a bonanza year for the franchise, with Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home set to shake things up for everyone’s favorite heroes. Captain Marvel hits screens on March 8 and is set to be the first major blockbuster of the year, with Disney and Marvel Studios hoping they can replicate the huge success of Black Panther, which launched just over a year ago. So how long is it going to be? The official runtime for the movie is 123 minutes and 31 seconds, as certified by the British Board of Film Classification. This puts it squarely in the same territory as other MCU releases. Both Captain America: The First Avenger and Iron Man 3 have roughly the same runtime, as does the movie that launched the MCU, 2008’s Iron Man. That many of these movies have such similar runtimes supports the argument that Marvel Studios prescribes a precise formula to their directors that they deviate from at their peril, but when the results have been this successful who’d want to mix things up? That said, the 800-pound gorilla in this year’s line-up is Avengers: Endgame, with Joe Russo having explained that there’s a “high probability” that the film could be pushing a three hour runtime. Sadly, Captain Marvel has one more thing in common with Black Panther aside from a similar release date and run-time: it’s also been subject to a vitriolic online hate campaign, fueled by anger that Brie Larson is being unapologetically feminist in promotional interviews. But given that the film is currently tracking for a monster opening, the efforts of those keyboard warriors will likely have been in vain. We’ll find out for certain this coming Friday, March 8 when Marvel’s newest heroine explodes into theaters around the world.
