Marvel is rolling out premium-format tickets for Avengers: Doomsday on July 20, more than five months before its theatrical release, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported. The outlet also revealed that the film's current runtime is clocked at 2 hours and 45 minutes, though it cautioned that the length is not yet final.
That runtime makes Avengers: Doomsday the second longest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, trailing only Avengers: Endgame's 3 hours and 2 minutes, according to Collider. The news has drawn mixed reactions: MovieWeb framed the nearly three-hour length as "a bit of a letdown after what fans saw in Endgame," while ComicBook called it "great news for MCU fans" even though the film "won't set a record."
"Marvel is so convinced the film will be a hit that it is jumping early to start promoting it."
ComicBook's observation underscores the studio's confidence, especially given that no proper trailer has been released yet. Disney, as reported by IGN France, is planning the early ticket sale to coincide with San Diego Comic-Con, a move that builds on the intense fan anticipation for the summer blockbuster.
Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a December 18 release, and the early ticket push is limited to premium-format screens for now, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Whether the runtime holds or shifts during post-production, the film is poised to be a major event, with Cosmic Book News noting that Marvel is "locking in a runtime" even as it prepares for the first wave of sales.
