Avengers: Endgame Runtime and Captain Marvel Rating

Back in November, co-director Joe Russo revealed that the Avengers: Endgame runtime was at three hours, and that doesn’t seem to have changed much since then. In a new interview with Collider, he says they are still at the three-hour mark.

“I think the studio is down with what the best story is,” Joe Russo said. “Right now, we think the movie is playing well and we’ve had great responses from our test audiences and we’re feeling very good about where it is. We’re still doing work to it. We’re not done with it. Again, this is a culmination film of 22 movies, it’s a lot of storytelling to work into it. Emotion is an intrinsic part of that to us. 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. This one, in particular, feels like three hours worth of real estate.”

Asked whether an intermission could be possible, Anthony Russo added: “We have screened the movie four times for audiences now. For the first three screenings, not a single person got up to go to the bathroom.”
