Avengers: Infinity War is almost here, and with it being the biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie yet (quite possibly the biggest movie experience ever) – it should come as no surprise that the movie could be pretty long in terms of runtime.
A post on Reddit may have just confirmed this:

It’s not really a surprise that the film will be pretty long, and it’s actually quite short if you think about the implications the movie has for the future of Marvel Studios. As we said before, it’s being touted as the biggest superhero movie ever, so it definitely can’t be under 2 hours. You know, like how Warner Bros. demanded Justice League be under 2 hours and still set up the entire future of the DCEU? Yeah, it’s pretty clear why the MCU is working out a little better.
Until the next trailer, we’ll let the synopsis do the talking:
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must willing to sacrifice it all in an attempt to defeat the power of Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.
The movie stars Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bethany, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Josh Brolin as the big bad villain, Thanos.
Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on May 4th.
