As the most successful movie franchise of all time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has built an impressive string of interconnected films over the last decade and a half. In projector rooms terms, that means a lot of film reels on shelves (or bytes on the disk drive). As the franchise has grown, so has its fanbase and anticipation for each release. The announcement of an MCU movie’s runtime is an event of its own. It’s a pragmatic consideration, of course — a long runtime gives an audience pause for thought at the soft drink stand as it demands a lot of their audience, but it also works the other way.
It wasn’t the title of Doctor Strange’s second headline movie in the MCU that sent some fans into a multiverse of madness, but its runtime. At a mere 126 minutes, they wondered if they were going to get enough of the Sorcerer Supreme? Coming from the director of Spider-Man 2, it’s safe to say that Sam Raimi knows what he’s doing. But it also leaves a question open as the MCU continues to stack up.
