"Captain America: Brave New World Among Shortest MCU Films"

*Captain America: Brave New World* marks a significant milestone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) by being the shortest film in the Captain America series and one of the briefest in the entire MCU. AMC Theatres has disclosed that the runtime of *Brave New World* is a concise one hour and 58 minutes, positioning it as the seventh shortest film among the 35 MCU movies. This is in stark contrast to the previous three Captain America films, which all exceed two hours in length.

Historically, the MCU's shorter films have predominantly been released during Phase 1 and Phase 2. However, recent entries like 2022's *The Marvels*, which runs for one hour and 45 minutes, have also contributed to this trend. Other notably short MCU films include *The Incredible Hulk*, *Thor: The Dark World*, *Thor*, *Doctor Strange*, and *Ant-Man*.

*Brave New World* is set to hit theaters alongside *Ant-Man and The Wasp*, which shares the same runtime of one hour and 58 minutes. In comparison, the longest MCU film to date is *Avengers: Endgame*, clocking in at three hours and one minute, followed by *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, *Eternals*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*.

With its release date just weeks away on February 14, *Brave New World* has reportedly undergone numerous rewrites and reshoots, including scenes featuring WWE star Seth Rollins. However, it remains unclear how these changes have impacted the film's final runtime.

This film marks the first Captain America installment since the retirement of Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, introducing Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson in the iconic role. Mackie has assured fans that *Brave New World* will uphold the series' tradition of delivering a grounded, espionage-driven adventure.

Moreover, the movie is poised to introduce deep-cut characters from Marvel lore, including the long-awaited appearance of The Leader, teased in the second-ever MCU film, *The Incredible Hulk*. It also features the debut of Red Hulk, adding to the excitement and anticipation for this new chapter in the Captain America saga.
