Movie length
The British cinema chain Cineworld has created the page for the acquisition of tickets on-line for Spider-Man: No Way Home, which includes its duration. There is no poster or plot information yet, but the time is visible and states that the film will be 150 minutes long, two and a half hours long.
Of course, it is very possible that this is a time estimated by the chain of cinemas and is finally revealed to be incorrect. For example, in 2019, a duration time of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker months before its premiere, which raised doubts as to whether the list was real or not. Sometimes the software providing the list requires something to be entered and a generic number is placed in the box until the correct one is announced. The perfect roundness of the number 150 could indicate that this is what has happened.
However, this duration is certainly within the normal for a film of this size. First of all, there will be a lot of characters and stories to tell, which takes a long time to cover the whole story. And secondly, this length of time is unprecedented. A duration time of 150 minutes would make No way home the longest UMC film that is not from The Avengers, but it would only be three minutes longer than Captain America: The Winter Soldier and about 15-25 minutes longer than the rest of Marvel movies. It remains to be seen if the study officially confirms this length of time, but for now it seems quite likely.
What do you think of this duration for the film?
