With modern day bookends and a story which, over the course of a few years, sees Steve Rogers go from being too sickly to join the army all the way to becoming Captain America and facing off against the Red Skull,
Captain America: The First Avenger has a lot of ground to cover. With this being Marvel's one and only chance to fully tell the WWII adventures of Cap (forgetting potential flashbacks in future instalments) it has to be done right. So, will they have enough time to do that?
Well, according to Canadian site,
Cineplex, the movie will have a running time of
2 Hours And 4 Minutes.
So, that's 124 minutes compared to
THOR's 114 and
Iron Man's 126. With many complaining that the former was a little too short, here's hoping the extra 10 minutes make all the difference. Be sure to share your thoughts on this news in the usual place.
With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, Stanley Tucci as Abraham Erskine and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark,
Captain America: The First Avenger will be released in 3D on July 22, later this year!
