While AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Might Be The Longest MCU Movie To Date, THOR: RAGNAROK Aims To Be The Shortest

Just yesterday we learned that Avengers: Infinity War will likely be the longest MCU movie released so far and now, Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi reveals that his film will be the shortest.

The first Thor film in 2011 had a runtime of 114 minutes.  Thor: The Dark World was released two years later and had a runtime of 112 minutes.  However, this November's Thor: Ragnarok currently has a runtime of only 100 minutes.  That would make it the shortest MCU film to date, 12 minutes shorter than The Incredible Hulk.

The news comes just a day after we reported that Avengers: Infinity War would likely have a runtime that exceeds 150 minutes.

Speaking to Collider, Taika Waititi revealed, "
The cut right now, I reckon it’s about 100 minutes. It’s not gonna be a very, very long film. I think that stories are better when you leave them wanting more, and this film moves at a clip, it’s got stuff happening all the time. I think people are still gonna feel exhausted by the end, they’ve been on this big journey and stuff, so I don’t think we need the film to be three hours."

With elements of Planet Hulk to tackle, Hela's siege of Asgard and a brief trip to Earth to find Odin and meet Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, do you think 100 minutes is enough time to adequately give each storyline enough breathing room? Let us know in the comment section below.

Thor: Ragnarok will be released in theaters on November 3, 2017.

Length doesn't matter, as long as it's a good movie.

If Waititi is confident he can pull it off, cool. I've doubted this film way too much already and have eaten crow at every turn.

@MattBellissimo - I had my doubts first, but I think it's long enough. Actually, I think that there won't be a lot going on in Ragnarok. 1) Thor & Loki trying to find Odin on Earth 2) Grandmaster stuff & team up 3) Big Ragnarok-clash with Hela on Asgard.

I think it will just serve as a simple set-up for Infinity War, nothing more.

@MattBellissimo - Well, until the movie actually comes out, no concerns are off the table. The end all be all of whether it's good or bad is when it comes out. And even then, it may still not be clear cut

@Unites - Yeah, I foresee something like that too. A correct film, and that's about it.

Lay off my husband Matt, he's taken!

Also, I'm the longest and he's the shortest. But that doesn't matter.

@narrow290 - my only issue is if the hulk Thor battle is a non battle like they don't fight or pretend fight in some way. They need to fight for at least a solid five to ten minutes. There doesn't have to be a conclusive winner but they heater not skimp out on this fight

@JustAChillFan - @MattBellissimo - I'm guessing he means because a trailer will give away more of a movie if the run time is shorter. So he can decide whether to watch the trailer or not.
