Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity War Runtimes Revealed?

Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity War Runtimes Revealed?

While both Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War are still far away from release, both directors for each film may have revealed what the runtime may be, or a general idea of what it could be. 

Taika Waititi had this to say about his upcoming film: 

"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 the big journey and stuff, so I don't think we need the film to be three hours."

If this is to be believed, and it may change in the coming month with editing and post-production before release, this will be one of the shortest MCU movies to date.

In stark contrast, Joe Russo, co-director of the upcoming Infinity War, has revealed to Collider that Infinity War may be one of the longest films in the MCU. He said this:

"The current cut is over 2 and a half [hours], yes. Most of it is a movie you can show. Still a lot of work left to be done... It's currently going to be a film that lives in the two and a half, two and a half plus range."

Thor: Ragnarok will be released on November 3rd and Infinity War will be released on May 4th, 2018.
