About this converter
Marvel Studios lists an official theatrical runtime for every MCU film, and the BBFC repeats it in its classification listings. Those runtimes make a clean scale, from the tight 112 minute Incredible Hulk to the 181 minute Avengers Endgame. Phase One films mostly sit between 112 and 143 minutes. Later team ups run longer as casts grow. All values here are theatrical cuts, credits included, as listed by Marvel and the BBFC.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Endgame against The Incredible Hulk to feel the full range. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits, which is how Marvel and the BBFC publish them. No extended or director cuts are used. Television edits that trim for broadcast are left out. The Incredible Hulk is the shortest entry here and Endgame the longest, a gap of 69 minutes. The gap between shortest and longest spans 69 minutes, nearly a full extra act of story.
