It hasn’t been officially announced, but it looks like the Civil War runtime has been revealed.
Fans of the MCU, or even just fans of their favorite franchises (Harry Potter!), are always looking for longer runtimes when it comes to the films they love. An extra 10 minutes here or there can mean more emotional impact, bigger fight scenes, and more time for quirky side characters.
According to Comic Book Movie, the Captain America: Civil War runtime is two hours and 26 minutes.
This comes from Event Cinemas in Australia, who have listed the movie on their page for the April 28 release date. (I’m trying not to be bitter you guys get it before us. I know, I know, you almost never get anything before we do, but when you do, does it have to be Marvel!?)
This puts Captain America 3 over the Avengers runtime of two hours and 23 minutes. Were you struggling with the length of Joss Whedon’s first foray into the MCU? If so, start making preparations for a similar experience when you (inevitably) go see Civil War in theatres this Spring.
On Monday, we got a slew of Civil War posters showing off Team Cap. In addition to the titular character, we also see Bucky, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Falcon. Now we just need some Team Iron Man posters to go with them, and I can plaster my bedroom with each lineup facing off against each other.
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps — one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War opens in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2016.
