Avengers: Infinity War is almost with us and we now know that it's the longest MCU movie to date.
It was revealed by co-director Joe Russo last July that the current cut of the movie was clocking in at over two and a half hours, eclipsing Captain America: Civil War's 147-minute running time.
And now it seems they've edited Infinity War down a bit as the BBFC has classified the movie in the UK, confirming a running time of 149 minutes and 9 seconds, just short of two and a half hours.
As expected, it's also a 12A like most Marvel movies and contains "moderate violence, threat", the majority of which we reckon comes from Thanos.
The cast list also seemingly confirms that Hawkeye and Ant-Man will feature in the movie, despite their absence from all marketing material, as Jeremy Renner and Paul Rudd are listed on the BBFC entry.
We shouldn't really be surprised at the running time as it was probably the bare minimum we could expect from a movie that features one of the biggest casts ever.
What to Read Next
The Russo Brothers recently teased to Digital Spy that Infinity War would have more deleted scenes than their previous Marvel outings.
"It was the first time ever that all these characters were on screen together, so we played around with quite a bit of footage, and I think there will be some good stuff for the DVD," Joe Russo explained.
Avengers: Infinity War is released in UK cinemas on April 26 and US cinemas on April 27.
