Marvel fans have a new number to talk about, and it is smaller than many expected. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have confirmed that **Avengers: Doomsday** currently runs about two and a half hours. That is roughly 30 minutes shorter than *Avengers: Endgame*, which is still the longest film in the MCU. The movie arrives in theatres on **December 18**.

### What the Russo Brothers Said?

Speaking to GamesRadar, the directors described the film as “a two-and-a-half-hour movie or so,” built around a “focused propulsive narrative.” Anthony Russo explained that the creative challenge is finding the central idea everything orbits around, then working out how all the storylines collide. In other words, despite a huge cast and heavy expectations, the plan is a tight, driving story rather than a sprawling one.

### Avengers Runtime Comparison

| Film | Runtime |
| --- | --- |
| The Avengers | 2 hr 23 min |
| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2 hr 21 min |
| Avengers: Infinity War | 2 hr 29 min |
| **Avengers: Doomsday (current)** | **About 2 hr 30 min** |
| Avengers: Endgame | 3 hr 1 min |

At about 150 minutes, *Doomsday* would be the second-longest Avengers film, just ahead of *Infinity War* and well behind *Endgame*. Note that the *Endgame* figure does not include the extra footage shown in *Avengers: Endgame Encore*.

### Where Doomsday Would Rank in the MCU

If the runtime holds, *Doomsday* would be the fourth-longest movie in MCU history. Only *Endgame*, *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* (2 hr 41 min) and *Eternals* (2 hr 37 min) would be longer.

### A Familiar Strategy

The numbers follow a pattern Marvel has used before. *Infinity War* ran about the same length as *Doomsday* is expected to, and *Endgame* then added around half an hour. The Russos have previously hinted at a similar approach for the next two Avengers films, with roughly two and a half hours for *Doomsday* and about three hours for *Secret Wars* in 2027. That later film is expected to be bigger in scale, bringing in an even larger cast and wrapping up more than 30 years of Marvel movies, so it could challenge *Endgame* for the longest MCU runtime ever.

### Is the Runtime Final?

Not necessarily. The two-and-a-half-hour figure is the film’s current length, and final cuts can change before release. Earlier insider reports suggested the movie could approach three hours, which is longer than what the Russos have mentioned, although the directors’ 2025 comments also pointed to about 150 minutes. Until Marvel publishes an official runtime, treat the number as an estimate.
