With the North American release of Ant-Man and the Wasp fast approaching, Heroic Hollywood is reporting that the official running time for the Marvel sequel has been set at 118 minutes – one minute longer than the 2015 original.
Assuming this is accurate, Ant-Man and the Wasp will become the first sub-two hour Marvel release since 2016’s Doctor Strange, and the sixth shortest MCU movie to date after The Incredible Hulk (112 minutes), Thor: The Dark World (112 minutes), Thor (114 minutes), Doctor Strange (115 minutes) and Ant-Man (117 minutes).
