Captain America: Brave New World, clocking in at a concise 1 hour and 58 minutes, claims the title of shortest Captain America film and one of the shortest MCU films overall. AMC Theatres confirmed this runtime, placing it among the select few MCU entries under two hours and ranking it seventh shortest of the 35 films released. This contrasts sharply with the three preceding Captain America films, all exceeding two hours.
While most shorter MCU films hail from Phases 1 and 2, several exceptions emerged recently. The shortest, The Marvels (2022), runs 1 hour and 45 minutes, followed by The Incredible Hulk, Thor: The Dark World, Thor, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man.

Brave New World shares its runtime with Ant-Man and The Wasp. In comparison, the longest MCU film, Avengers: Endgame, stretches to 3 hours and 1 minute, followed by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Eternals, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Despite its imminent February 14th release, Brave New World reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots, including scenes featuring WWE star Seth Rollins. The impact of these revisions on the final runtime remains unclear.
This film marks the first Captain America adventure following Chris Evans' Steve Rogers' retirement, starring Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. Mackie has described it as a grounded espionage thriller, upholding the series' legacy.
The film also promises to incorporate lesser-known Marvel characters, including a payoff to a tease in The Incredible Hulk through the introduction of The Leader, and features Red Hulk.
