Captain America: Brave New World makes history as the shortest Captain America film, and one of the shortest MCU films overall, clocking in at a brisk one hour and 58 minutes. This marks a significant departure from its predecessors, the previous three Captain America films all exceeding the two-hour mark. While many of the shorter MCU films hail from Phases 1 and 2, a few more recent additions also fall into this category, including 2022's *The Marvels* (1 hour 45 minutes), *The Incredible Hulk*, *Thor: The Dark World*, *Thor*, *Doctor Strange*, and *Ant-Man*. *Brave New World* shares its runtime with *Ant-Man and The Wasp*. In contrast, the longest MCU film, *Avengers: Endgame*, stretches to three hours and one minute, followed by *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, *Eternals*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*.
Despite its relatively short runtime, *Brave New World*, slated for release on February 14th, reportedly underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots, including scenes featuring WWE star Seth Rollins. The impact of these changes on the final cut remains unclear.
This new chapter in the Captain America saga stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, taking the mantle from Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. Mackie promises a continuation of the series' grounded, espionage-focused narrative. The film is also notable for incorporating deep-cut characters from Marvel lore, including a payoff to a tease from *The Incredible Hulk* with the introduction of The Leader, and features Red Hulk.
