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

*Captain America: Brave New World* stands out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) not just for its narrative but for being the shortest film in the Captain America series and one of the shortest in the entire MCU. AMC Theatres has announced that the runtime for *Brave New World* is a concise one hour and 58 minutes, making it one of the few MCU films to clock in under two hours and the seventh shortest out of the 35 films released so far. To put this into perspective, all previous Captain America films have exceeded the two-hour mark.

In the broader context of the MCU, shorter films are more commonly found in the earlier Phases 1 and 2. However, recent entries like 2022's *The Marvels*, with a runtime of one hour and 45 minutes, have also kept things brief. Other notably short MCU films include *The Incredible Hulk*, *Thor: The Dark World*, *Thor*, *Doctor Strange*, and *Ant-Man*.

*Brave New World* shares its runtime of one hour and 58 minutes with *Ant-Man and The Wasp*. 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*.

As the release date of February 14 approaches, *Brave New World* has reportedly undergone multiple rewrites and reshoots, including scenes involving WWE star Seth Rollins. While the impact of these changes on the film's runtime remains unclear, the anticipation continues to build.

This film marks a new chapter for the Captain America series, as it introduces Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as the new Captain America, following the retirement of Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. Mackie has promised that *Brave New World* will continue the series' tradition of delivering a grounded, espionage-focused adventure.

Moreover, *Brave New World* is set to enrich the MCU with deep-cut characters from Marvel lore, including the introduction of The Leader, a character teased in the second-ever MCU film, *The Incredible Hulk*. The film also features the Red Hulk, adding another layer of excitement and anticipation for fans.
