Captain America: Brave New World clocks in as the shortest Captain America film and one of the shortest MCU films overall.

AMC Theatres confirmed a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes, placing it among the sub-two-hour MCU entries and ranking it as the seventh shortest of the 35 films released. This contrasts sharply with the previous three Captain America films, all exceeding two hours.

While most shorter MCU films hail from Phases 1 and 2, several exceptions emerged recently. The shortest, The Marvels (2022), runs 1 hour and 45 minutes. Others include The Incredible Hulk, Thor: The Dark World, Thor, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man.

Brave New World, alongside Ant-Man and The Wasp (also 1 hour and 58 minutes), is next in the release queue. In comparison, Avengers: Endgame holds the title of longest MCU film at 3 hours and 1 minute, followed by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Eternals, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Despite its upcoming February 14th release, Brave New World reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots (including scenes featuring WWE star Seth Rollins), although the impact on the final runtime remains unclear.

Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, this film marks the first Captain America movie post-Chris Evans' Steve Rogers retirement. Mackie has described it as a grounded espionage thriller, upholding the series' legacy.

The film is also expected to feature lesser-known Marvel characters, including a payoff to a tease from The Incredible Hulk, introducing The Leader and Red Hulk.
