‘Avengers: Endgame’ Directors Say The Film Is Still 3 Hours Long

The Russo brothers revealed the current Avengers: Endgame runtime is still clocking in at three-hours long.

The Russo brothers are hard at work in the editing bay putting together the final Endgame cut. The Russos previously revealed the Endgame cut was at three-hours back in December. Infinity War is currently the longest MCU film, clocking in at 2 hours and 40 minutes. While speaking with Collider, co-director Joe Russo revealed the current Endgame cut is still at three-hours and could stay that way:

“I think the studio is down with what the best story is. 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.”
