Avengers: Doomsday Reportedly Runs 165 Minutes, 16 Short of Endgame

Summary

  • 165 minutes is the reported current runtime for Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday, which would make it the MCU's second-longest film if the cut holds.
  • The Hollywood Reporter said the runtime is not locked yet and that Marvel plans to start ticket sales on June 20, about five months before the Dec. 18, 2026 release.
  • That length would put Doomsday 16 minutes behind 2019's Endgame but ahead of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at 2 hours, 41 minutes.
  • The reported cut broadly matches the Russo brothers' earlier guidance that Doomsday would land around 2.5 hours, while 2027 follow-up Secret Wars would be closer to three hours.
