We're one month away from Captain America: Brave New World arriving in theaters and tickets for the movie are expected to finally go on sale later this week.

In the meantime, we have word on the runtime for the latest chapter in the Multiverse Saga courtesy of AMC Theaters. Captain America: Brave New World clocks in at 1 hour, 58 minutes (118 minutes), making it the shortest Captain America movie to date.

Captain America: The First Avenger was 124 minutes, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was 136 minutes, and Captain America: Civil War - an Avengers movie in all but name - was 147 minutes.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier follow-up is believed to have undergone quite a few changes in post-production, with reshoots adding and removing characters.

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins recently alluded to that in an interview confirming his Serpent Society villain has been left on the cutting room floor:

"It releases in February. I wish it the best, but I am not a part of that film. [What happened?] Well, does my NDA still apply if I'm not in the film anymore? Truth be told, any answer I gave would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots so what I was there to do, essentially my role got either repurposed or completely erased."

"So I did do a bit of an audition to possibly pop into another role, I believe, or the repurposing of my role, I'm not exactly sure on what it was, but they ended up going in a different direction with it. And yeah my understanding was there were just a lot of rewrites and a lot of reshoots, and they know they've got a finished product that hopefully they're happy with, and hopefully it's successful, but it will be sans Seth Rollins."

Captain America: The First Avenger managed to squeeze a lot of story into its 124 minutes, so this movie being 6 minutes shorter isn't cause for concern. Ultimately, what's important is that it does right by Sam Wilson during his first solo outing on the big screen.

Disney and Marvel Studios are Box Office Juggernauts No Stopping them. Both HOLD ALL Box Office Records at the Box Office. Starting with Avatar and Avengers: Endgame next.

Here Check for yourself. Truly Mind-Blowing what Disney and Marvel Studios accomplished.

@AllsGood - money is amazing

DarthAlgar - 1/14/2025, 2:48 PM

@AllsGood - Eat shit. 🙃

AllsGood - 1/14/2025, 3:07 PM

@DarthAlgar - NO WB/DC movies until number 30 Aquaman $1,152,028,393. Next The Dark Knight Rises at 35 $1,114,975,066.

AllsGood - 1/14/2025, 3:16 PM

@DarthAlgar - Next at 54 The Dark Knight with $1,009,053,678. WB/DC has only 3 movies that hit 1 Billion at the Box Offie.

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/14/2025, 3:18 PM

Oh wowwww.

Some megacorporation with nearly infinite spending due to aid by BlackRock can make dreck that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Avatar wouldn't have made as much money without the overpriced tickets that covered the cost of 3-D glasses ownership or rental.

UltimaRex - 1/14/2025, 3:29 PM

@AllsGood - it is at this point I remind you that McDonald's is the best selling restaurant.

AllsGood - 1/14/2025, 3:34 PM

@UltimaRex - WOW! I Never heard that Excuse before.

@AllsGood - Posting that 60s House Ad Art in reference to today's MCU is [frick]ing blasphemy and you are so clueless and retarded that you don't even know any better.

Kirby, Ditko, Colan and even Werner Roth (Iceman) are rolling in their graves and giving you the finger from the Great Beyond.

TheVisionary25 - 1/14/2025, 2:39 PM

Hmmm interesting , is it confirmed for sure since I think AMC puts placeholder runtimes until closer to release?.

However if is true then we’ll see since I always say it doesn’t matter how long or short the runtime is but how they utilize it and for what…

Anyway hope this turns out well , it seems good imo so I’m looking forward to it!!.

Razorface1 - 1/14/2025, 2:42 PM

Yeah but its also Sams longest movie to date!

HashTagSwagg - 1/14/2025, 2:42 PM

Smart move, shorter the film, the more screenings it can have throughout the day. Did box office wonders for The Marvels.

foreverintheway - 1/14/2025, 2:43 PM

I just hope it's good. I've seen some good 3 hour movies lately, and some even better movies at 90 min. It's Captain America 4 - let's get in and out in under 2 hours. If it HAS to be 2 hours or more - better be worth it.

bobevanz - 1/14/2025, 2:49 PM

@foreverintheway - tiktok brain rot

foreverintheway - 1/14/2025, 2:59 PM

@bobevanz - not the tiktok generation. Stand By Me, Rambo, Anchorman, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Lucy. All movies pre-tiktok, all better than 3/4 Thor movies (plus other titles). I love plenty of 3+ hr long movies, extended cut etc. None of the recent Marvel movies have been great - maybe trim some of the fat. Just my opinion.

DrDReturns - 1/14/2025, 3:03 PM

@foreverintheway - I agree with both points. 3 hour epics are something to behold, but Disney has shown that their superhero movies are nothing more than popcorn flicks. No need to draw them out.

Of Topic: Is the cat in your avatar yours?

Shivermetimbers - 1/14/2025, 3:25 PM

@foreverintheway - I agree more and more with the 2 hr mark being about as long as most movies should be. If I am there for 2.5 to 3 hours it better be REALLY good. I start falling asleep if they are too long and not riveting enough.

foreverintheway - 1/14/2025, 3:52 PM

@DrDReturns - Yes, that is my cat! Happy to answer any and all questions - her name is Ripley.

BraveNewClunge - 1/14/2025, 4:06 PM

@foreverintheway - God bless her 💖

DrDReturns - 1/14/2025, 6:50 PM

@foreverintheway - Nice! Thanks for sharing. As in Alien?

My wife and I love all animals, but presently we have two 4 year old littermates, Del (F) and Tuki (M)

bobevanz - 1/14/2025, 2:49 PM

They better have something on par with TWS or else this will flop harder than The Marvels

DarthAlgar - 1/14/2025, 2:50 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but when studios release films around February doesn't it usually indicate they have little faith in it's success?

TheJok3r - 1/14/2025, 2:56 PM

@DarthAlgar - The main sign of a studio's lack of faith in a movie is when the review embargo lifts. If it doesn't lift until a day or less before release, then there's definitely a problem with it.

WakandanQueen - 1/14/2025, 2:58 PM

@DarthAlgar - Yes, on the very weekend the first Deadpool and Black Panther released. Must have little faith.

ThorArms - 1/14/2025, 2:58 PM

@DarthAlgar - Not really. The first Black Panther and Deadpool did just fine on the same weekend.

NinnesMBC - 1/14/2025, 3:05 PM

@DarthAlgar - Black Panther came out in February and did just fine. So have others around those dates. The Batman did well in March of 2022.

DarthAlgar - 1/14/2025, 3:08 PM

@WakandanQueen - Relax, douchebag. It was a legit question.

Of course you would rush to chance of bringing up Black Panther. 🙄

DarthAlgar - 1/14/2025, 3:09 PM

@ThorArms - Fair enough.

HashTagSwagg - 1/14/2025, 3:09 PM

@WakandanQueen -

WakandanQueen - 1/14/2025, 3:12 PM

@DarthAlgar - I gave a legit answer to your legit question. And Black Panther is literally the most successful example to release on the same calendar weekend. Don't know why you're acting up.

Ikusa - 1/14/2025, 3:15 PM

@DarthAlgar - In some cases sure but this is not that case. They know it won't do record breaking numbers but will still do pretty well

WakandanQueen - 1/14/2025, 3:15 PM

@HashTagSwagg - Yea, Sony's dead Spider-Man-less Spider-Man-villain-verse flopped on that date. And? Even The Marvels, which was a massive flop and the most proper example of fans not giving a [frick] for a MCU movie did better on its opening weekend than Madame did on its whole run. Think it's the least relevant out of all the examples.

Ikusa - 1/14/2025, 3:16 PM

@WakandanQueen - The sarcasm maybe 🤷🏾

HashTagSwagg - 1/14/2025, 3:17 PM

@WakandanQueen -

marvel72 - 1/14/2025, 3:20 PM

@DarthAlgar - January and February.

mountainman - 1/14/2025, 3:34 PM

@DarthAlgar - February doesn’t seem like as much of a box office black hole as say January or September are, but this was originally scheduled during that first weekend of May last year. First weekend of May used to be when the MCU stuck their tentpoles. Maybe their analytics said this would perform better this time of year vs in the more packed summer season I don’t know. But the first Deadpool and Black Panther both did well with this time release so I bet the performance of this movie depends on how much the GA likes it and how much word of mouth it gets.

WakandanQueen - 1/14/2025, 2:57 PM

I was expecting around the more regular 130-135 minutes, but hey, not far off. Pacing matters. Have always dug Mackie and Sam Wilson, so hope I get a cool new movie out of this. Lots of interesting threads in this one; big bad President Red Hulk, Adamantium and the Celestian Hand, Carl Lumbly, the supporting players, the fact we're gonna get some solid idea about where the world in our Sacred Timeline stands currently, potential Avengers set-up, aerial action. Rob Edwards being revealed as a writer for this has me very curious.

Spike101 - 1/14/2025, 3:10 PM

@WakandanQueen - I think the treads you point out will either make or break the movie, particularly the dead Celestial and the Adamantium.
