Marvel fans, get ready – the Russo Brothers have officially revealed the runtimes for the Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars films, and they’re not holding back.
The highly anticipated ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ will clock in at 2.5 hours, while ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is set for a massive 3-hour runtime. These films will start filming in April in London, with each production running for about six months.
Why Such Long Runtimes?
Both movies are expected to be game-changers for the MCU, bringing in multiple universes, legacy characters, and possibly some of the most epic battles Marvel has ever put on screen. Given the scale of ‘Secret Wars’, many fans are wondering if even 3 hours will be enough to properly wrap up the Multiverse Saga. Some have even speculated that Marvel might split it into two parts – a strategy that worked for ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’.
Filming Secrecy & Location Details
To avoid leaks (which have been a huge issue for Marvel in the past), the Russo Brothers are keeping things tight. Most of the filming will be done on soundstages, and they’ve carefully selected specific locations to limit potential spoilers. Given the massive scope of these movies, expect some highly controlled sets and heavy security measures to prevent major plot details from getting out.
Fan Reactions – Excitement & Concerns
As soon as the runtimes were revealed, the internet exploded with mixed reactions:
- “3 hours for Secret Wars? That’s Endgame-level epic! Can’t wait.”
- “They better not rush Doomsday. 2.5 hours sounds good, but it needs to breathe.”
- “Secret Wars has so much to cover. Honestly, it should be two movies.”
- “Marvel has a pacing problem. Let’s hope this isn’t just action crammed in nonstop.”
One of the biggest concerns is pacing – Marvel has faced criticism in recent years for movies that feel bloated or don’t give characters enough depth. The hope is that with the Russo Brothers at the helm, these films will balance action and storytelling like they did with Infinity War and Endgame.
Could ‘Secret Wars’ Be Split into Two Films?
It’s a big question fans are asking. ‘Secret Wars’ is a massive storyline in the comics, featuring multiple realities, variant heroes, and major universe-altering stakes. With a 3-hour runtime, it’s unclear how much of the story they can realistically fit in without feeling rushed.
If Marvel decides to split ‘Secret Wars’ into two parts, it wouldn’t be surprising. ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’ were originally planned as one film before being split due to the complexity of the story. Could history repeat itself?
What’s Next for the MCU?
With filming set to begin in April 2025, more details about these Avengers films will likely surface soon. For now, fans can only speculate on which heroes will return, how the multiverse storyline will conclude, and whether these runtimes will be enough to deliver satisfying conclusions.
One thing’s for sure – Marvel isn’t holding back, and these could be the biggest superhero films of the decade.
