Spider-Man Far From Home has, so far, been well received by those lucky enough to attend pre-release screenings. Critics’ full thoughts on the Spider-Man sequel will be available later today (June 27) when the reviews embargo is lifted. But for now, one salient detail many Marvel fans are excitedly waiting for is for how long they’ll be sitting in the cinema.
What is the runtime of Spider-Man: Far From Home?
According to the British Board of Film Classification, Spider-Man: Far From Home has a runtime of 129 minutes.
This two hours and 19 minutes also takes into account Marvel Studios intro, credits, and mid and post-credits scenes and is a far cry from Avengers: Endgame’s three hours.
In fact, Spider-Man: Far From Home is the shortest Phase Three movie, as well as the last.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot how the Spider-Man: Far From Home runtime proves a heartwarming theory.
