Avengers: Endgame was a cinematic feat that we probably won't see replicated anytime soon. After more than a dozen movies leading up to the record-breaking finale, Marvel Studios had every right to make the movie as long as it did, which was a little over 3 hours. You could argue that Endgame could have gone on for longer and fans still would've been okay with it. However, it appears that the success of Endgame has emboldened Marvel Studios to release longer movies.
Case in point, Eternals. With a runtime of 2 hours and 37 minutes, Eternals became the second-longest MCU film, which is probably why it was so divisive. Now, Spider-Man: No Way Home is about to give Eternals a run for its money. At least, as far as runtime goes.
Can No Way Home set a new non-Endgame MCU record?
All four of the Avengers films so far have grossed at least $1.4 billion at the global box office. Meanwhile, only five MCU movies have made at least $1 billion. There's not a single solo feature film in the MCU that has managed to cross the $1 billion mark twice, but it appears that No Way Home might be the first to do it.
