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 few MCU films under two hours and the seventh shortest (out of 35). This is significantly shorter than the previous three Captain America films, all exceeding two hours.

While most shorter MCU films hail from Phases 1 and 2, some recent exceptions exist. The shortest is 2022's The Marvels (1 hour, 45 minutes), followed by 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, 58 minutes), is next. In contrast, the longest MCU film is Avengers: Endgame (3 hours, 1 minute), followed by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Eternals, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Despite its February 14th release, Brave New World reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots (including scenes with WWE's Seth Rollins), though the impact on the runtime remains unclear.

Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, this film marks the first Captain America movie post-Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. Mackie promises a continuation of the grounded, espionage-driven Captain America legacy.

The film also features deep-cut Marvel characters, including a payoff to a tease from The Incredible Hulk, through the introduction of The Leader. Red Hulk also stars.
