"Captain America: Brave New World Among Shortest MCU Films"

*Captain America: Brave New World* marks a significant milestone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as the shortest film in the Captain America series and one of the briefest in the entire MCU. AMC Theatres has disclosed that the runtime for *Brave New World* is a concise one hour and 58 minutes, positioning it as one of the few MCU films to clock in under two hours. This makes it the seventh shortest out of the 35 films in the MCU. Notably, the previous three Captain America films all exceeded the two-hour mark.

While the MCU's shorter films are predominantly from Phase 1 and Phase 2, recent entries like *The Marvels* (2022) at one hour and 45 minutes, the shortest in the franchise, along with *The Incredible Hulk*, *Thor: The Dark World*, *Thor*, *Doctor Strange*, and *Ant-Man*, also fall into this category. *Brave New World* shares its runtime with *Ant-Man and The Wasp*, both at one hour and 58 minutes. In contrast, the longest MCU film, *Avengers: Endgame*, runs for three hours and one minute, followed by *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, *Eternals*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*.
