Doomsday Runtime vs Endgame: Major Downgrade

Marvel's confirmed Avengers: Doomsday will run 165 minutes, which is notably shorter than Avengers: Endgame and represents what some see as a step back for the climactic Multiverse Saga payoff. For what it's worth, ticket pre-sales are kicking off Monday, June 20, giving fans a full five months to lock in their seats before the December 18 release. The runtime feels somewhat conservative for a movie meant to resolve years of multiverse storytelling, and comparing it to Endgame's longer runtime has prompted discussion about whether Marvel's playing it safer this time around. The Hollywood Reporter's reporting confirms these details, making it official that Doomsday will be shorter than its predecessor despite arguably needing more time to wrap up complex narrative threads.
