The Marvels has an unusually short runtime, setting it apart from MCU and modern superhero movies.
The Big Picture The internet loves to break down every tiny intricacy of upcoming blockbusters. No wonder, then, that the news that The Marvels would run for 106 minutes has gripped the imagination of the internet. After all, this runtime makes The Marvels the shortest project ever in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Laugh-oriented features often have very simply hooky premises that are good for some laughs but can’t sustain the lengthy runtimes of, say, Killers of the Flower Moon. That’s perfectly fine, not every movie needs to be three hours to justify its place as quality cinema. Plus, many lead performances in comedy movies that are amusing for 75 minutes would wear out their welcome after 150 minutes.
Needless to say, The Marvels is at odds with the longer Marvel Studios entries, all of which are some of the more recent installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Only four Marvel Studios entities have runtimes of 150 minutes or more and they were all released in or after April 2019. Since that month, other MCU titles have also opted for lengthy runtimes, with both Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in 2021 featuring runtimes that narrowly exceeded 130 minutes.
