The much-awaited superhero film Captain America: Civil War has a running time of two hours and 27 minutes, making it the longest film from Marvel Studios till date. It’s four minutes longer than the previous title holder, 2012’s The Avengers.
Captain America: Civil War is likely to need the expanded length.
In addition to pitting two teams of superheroes against each other and tying up the Winter Soldier plot left dangling in the previous movie, the feature will also introduce two new players to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
It may be the longest Marvel movie till date, but it’s far from the longest superhero movie released. This month’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice runs 151 minutes, while 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises ran an impressive 165 minutes.
