The Marvels’ runtime has revealed that Brie Larson's sequel breaks a big MCU record.

It will clock in at 1 hour and 45 minutes. For reference, the first Captain Marvel ran for 2 hours and 3 minutes.

This marks the shortest of the MCU's 32 movies to date, a record which was previously shared by "The Incredible Hulk" and "Thor: The Dark World" at 1 hour and 53 minutes. "The Marvels" will pass this runtime by a decent margin of eight minutes.

The sequel now holds the MCU record for the shortest movie on the opposite end of the scale from "Avengers: Endgame", which holds the record as the longest.

The sequel to 2019's “Captain Marvel” will bring together three MCU stars, Larson's titular hero, Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel. The rest of the cast is filled out by Zawe Ashton and Park Seo-Joon, as well as Marvel regular Samuel L. Jackson, who will reprise his role as Nick Fury.

Parris first appeared in the Disney+ series “WandaVision,” playing Monica, the daughter of Carol’s late friend, Maria Rambeau (played by Lashana Lynch in “Captain Marvel”). Vellani starred in the Disney+ series “Ms. Marvel” as the Captain Marvel super-fan, Kamala.
