Avengers: Doomsday runs 2 hrs 45 min — ticket pre-sales open July 20

Avengers: Doomsday's general runtime has been revealed ahead of early ticket pre-sales.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Avengers: Doomsday has a runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes, with tickets for the film going live next week on July 20th. The outlet notes that the runtime is not locked, but ticket pre-sales going up this early means that the film's length can't change too significantly without impacting the showtimes it's selling tickets for. Still, it will likely weigh in as one of the longest Marvel movies to date.

Avengers: Infinity War was two and a half hours long, and Avengers: Endgame was 3 hours on the dot, with Doomsday stacking up right in the middle. The Hollywood Reporter expects that a trailer will drop the same week as ticket pre-sales go live, as Marvel Studios will host its San Diego Comic-Con panel on July 25th. Although we've gotten a few teaser trailers for Avengers: Doomsday , the full trailer has only been seen by CinemaCon attendees up to this point.

It's unclear if that same trailer will be the one released to the public or if it will be something entirely different. That trailer was shown three months ago, so Marvel has certainly had enough time to cut together something new if it wants to. It also wouldn't be surprising if this new trailer is attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which releases on July 31st.

Although there's a plethora of rumors out there about Avengers: Doomsday, we don't really know that much about the film. So far, we know Robert Downey Jr. will play Doctor Doom, a bunch of Marvel heroes like Steve Rogers are returning, and the film will feature most of the original X-Men cast, such as James Marsden and Patrick Stewart. A piece of Avengers: Doomsday concept art was also revealed this past weekend, giving us a first look at the core cast of the film. Beyond that, specific plot points are a bit fuzzy, though that will likely change later this month.
