Captain America: Brave New World clocks in as the shortest Captain America film, and one of the shortest MCU films overall.
AMC Theatres has confirmed a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes, placing it among the few MCU films under two hours, and the seventh shortest of the 35 films released. This is notably shorter than the previous three Captain America films, all exceeding two hours.
While most shorter MCU films hail from Phases 1 and 2, some recent exceptions exist. The shortest is 2022's The Marvels (1 hour, 45 minutes), followed by The Incredible Hulk, Thor: The Dark World, Thor, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man. Brave New World shares its runtime with Ant-Man and The Wasp. In contrast, the longest MCU film is Avengers: Endgame (3 hours, 1 minute), followed by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Eternals, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Despite its upcoming February 14th release, Brave New World reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots, including scenes featuring WWE star Seth Rollins. The impact of these revisions on the final runtime remains unclear.
Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, this film marks the first Captain America movie since Chris Evans' Steve Rogers retired. Mackie promises a continuation of the grounded, espionage-focused narrative established in previous installments.
The film also introduces deep-cut Marvel characters, including a payoff to a tease from The Incredible Hulk with the introduction of The Leader, and features Red Hulk.
