Avengers Doomsday runtime reveals it's the second longest Avengers movie, and Marvel fans are seriously divided

Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the Avengers: Doomsday trailer.

The Avengers: Doomsday runtime has seemingly been released several months ahead of the Marvel movie's release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie has a current length of two hours and 45 minutes.

The news comes as early ticket sales for the hugely anticipated MCU film are set to start next week, five months ahead of release.

It's important to note that this may not be the final runtime of the movie as it's not yet locked. However, as the trade points out, it will not be able to shift too much as it's in line with theater schedules.

This runtime means that Doomsday is clocking in at the second-longest Avengers movie in the MCU history. The first two (The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron) clocked in at around the two hours and 20 minutes mark, meanwhile Avengers: Infinity War had a runtime of two hours and 29 minutes. The longest Avengers movie was Avengers: Endgame at three hours and one minute.

Marvel fans have been reacting to the news, and it's fair to say it's caused a bit of a divide among the community. "2 hours 46 minutes, that feels like a good run time imo," one wrote on Reddit as another added: "That runtime is great news, and honestly throws fuel on the fire regarding the rumors of a third Avengers film to cap the saga. Infinity War was much shorter, and there's no way Secret Wars can pack all that it needs in 3 hours."

Meanwhile others were hoping it might be a little longer. "2h 46m is too short considering all the stuff it needs to set up lol," added one as another agreed, pointing out: "Not long enough. Should be 3 hours with all these characters lol."

Indeed, the Avengers: Doomsday cast is pretty huge. Already confirmed are several of the X-Men Fox-era cast, the OG Avengers, the new era Avengers, the Fantastic Four cast, and Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom. We're also expecting a few more casting surprises too, especially as Marvel returns to Hall H for its San Diego Comic-Con panel very soon too.
