Endgamepicks up after last year’sAvengers: Infinity War, in which bad guy Thanos (Josh Brolin) collected all the infinity stones and erased half the universe’s population.
The epic will clock in at three hours and two minutes, making it the longest Marvel movie yet. In an interview withVulture, the screenwriters of the film, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, insist the film is as “lean” in its runtime as possible.
“It’s exactly as long as it needs to be,” McFeely said. “Any shorter and it would have felt like we weren’t honoring all the threads and franchises that are feeding into this climax.”
The two also faced the challenge of culminating 11 years worth of movies, beginning with the release ofIron Manin 2008.
“Twenty-two movies in, not only has the movie earned its length, but people deserve a movie of that substance,” McFeely continued. “I swear to God, it sounds like a paradox to say this, but it’s a lean three hours!”
