Captain America: Brave New World clocks in as the shortest Captain America film, and one of the shortest MCU films overall.
AMC Theatres announced a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes, placing it among the few MCU films under two hours, and the seventh shortest of 35 films. This is notably 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 date, Brave New World reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots (including scenes with WWE star Seth Rollins), though the impact on runtime remains unclear.
Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, this film marks the first Captain America movie after Chris Evans' Steve Rogers' retirement. Mackie promises a continuation of the grounded, espionage-thriller legacy of the series.
The film will also feature lesser-known Marvel characters, including a payoff to a tease from The Incredible Hulk, introducing The Leader and Red Hulk.
