Last week, co-director Joe Russo confirmed Avengers: Endgame is set to run for 3 hours and 58 seconds, and now Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has been chatting about the film’s running time, describing it as “the perfect length” for the story they want to tell.
“What I’ve always said is a movie is as long as it should be. And we are not fans of overindulging movies. We are not fans of laborious lengths for no reason. We are fans of movies that you wish didn’t end. Movies that you want to see again as soon as it’s over. And movies that you just don’t ever find a good time to run out to the bathroom.
“That’s when a movie’s working. If a movie doesn’t feel like that to us, we continue to trim, we continue to shape, we continue to bring that time down. That happened to a certain extent on this movie. But we got to a point where it feels very exciting and goes by very quickly and in the end is the perfect length. And everybody that saw the movie felt the same way.”
