Brave New World Runtime Revealed

Anthony Mackie’s first big-screen adventure as Captain America will be released on February 14, 2025, as Captain America: Brave New World hits the movie theatres. The film is one that audiences are excited about due to the anticipation of what the character of Sam Wilson will be able to bring to the Captain America franchise in a film that is also set to feature Red Hulk. With a talented cast that includes Harrison Ford, Rosa Salazar, and Giancarlo Esposito, there’s a real possibility this will be one of the most thrilling projects on the upcoming calendar for Marvel Studios.

The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe project has been marred with a lot of problems in the build-up, with the 35th film in this installment having been plagued by reshoots and rewrites due to multiple test screening results that have claimed there was a lack of clear vision within the movie. However, while there might have been some stumbling blocks along the way, Marvel still managed to capture plenty of content that will fill out the film and tell a captivating story as audiences now know how long they should anticipate Captain America: Brave New World to be.

Captain America: Brave New World’s Most Controversial Character May Get Their Own Spinoff

Captain America: Brave New World introduces a controversial Marvel Comics character to the MCU and a new rumor claims they may get a spinoff.

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Captain America: Brave New World is scheduled to be two hours and four minutes long, giving audiences plenty of time to exist within the world created. The original Captain America: The First Avenger was just as long, running for 124 minutes, while the sequel, Captain America: Winter Soldier, was extended to run 136 minutes. Marvel hiked things up once again with Captain America: Civil War, which ran for 147 minutes, which is understandable considering how many other Marvel characters were added to it.

In addition to revealing how long the film will last, it was confirmed that there will be one post-credit scene for fans to enjoy, which has become a staple of all Marvel movies. What this will entail remains a mystery, with Marvel having a range of topics within its back catalog regarding the post-credit scenes. Some have provided significant teases to future movies, sometimes with characters even debuting in these moments. However, there are also times when those post-credit moments are just comedic scenes, which can lead to them being rather forgettable.

Considering this will be Mackie’s first movie as Captain America following the Disney Plus series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which showcased his first experience in the new role, it makes sense for this not to be the longest movie in the franchise. However, it is still long enough for audiences to have enough time to dive into the character and understand what this version of Captain America will be like, which is important to showcase what this character is capable of.

Wilson is someone who people will be familiar with due to his time playing the Falcon in multiple MCU projects. But this change is significant; therefore, giving the movie a solid runtime that isn’t going to overstay its welcome should be beneficial in allowing Captain America: Brave New World to make an impact and ensure the character continues to be a significant part of the MCU.

Captain America: Brave New World (formerly titled New World Order) marks Sam Wilson’s first MCU big-screen appearance as Steve Rogers’ successor after receiving the suit and shield in Phase 4’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Anthony Mackie returns as the titular Avenger alongside Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, Carl Lumby as Isaiah Bradley, and Tim Blake Nelson as The Incredible Hulk’s former ally Samuel Sterns. Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross.
