Avengers 4 Runtime

Directors Anthony & Joe Russo are making the publicity rounds to discuss Avengers: Infinity War, and while these promotional interviews aren’t giving up much in the way of information about the movie, there was some discussion about what to expect when it comes to Avengers 4. For example, even though the directing duo is still trying to get together a first cut for Avengers 4, they already think it will be longer than Avengers: Infinity War.

Avengers: Infinity War is already around two and a half hours long, so could we be looking at the first Marvel movie that reaches three hours in length, or will Disney keep the Russo brothers from having a movie that long? The directors responded to Collider‘s line of questioning on the matter:

Anthony Russo: To their credit, we’ve never gotten a time mandate from them.

Joe Russo: I’ll say it could easily be a three-hour film, but I think we’re very hard on the material. We like it to play at a certain pace. I’m sure we’ll squeeze it.

Anthony: We have a whole year of work left on that…
