The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand and grow as the franchise explores the existence of various realities existing aside from the current timeline which established the heroes and villains of the first three phases. For the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it has been revealed to carry over one thing: the runtime of the movie.

In a listing of the movie with the Brazilian ticketer Ingresso, it is revealed that the runtime of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be having a total of 148 minutes which shall include the credits and surely, the end credits as well. The runtime is long enough for the movie to be considered as one of the longest in the MCU.

The current holder of the longest MCU movie is none other than Avengers: Endgame which is considered as the culmination of everything that the MCU has built since its inception and it is no question that the film took 3 hours to run given the importance of the film in the narrative. Runners-Up are Eternals and Avengers: Infinity War.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness having 2 hours and 28 minutes in total could equal its runtime to the latest Marvel movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home where the events of the former movie will rely on what happened in the latter as Doctor Strange cast a spell so sinister, it opened the doors of the multiverse into their world.
