Marvel fans are in for a treat. The next Avengers movie is going to be the longest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At a runtime of 182 minutes, Avengers: Endgame beats the previous record held by Avengers: Infinity War and will also hold the title of the longest (theatrical) modern superhero movie.

In an interview, producer Kevin Feige said: "It’s gonna be the exact running time that the movie needs to be".

"I think there’s a lot of story in that movie and a lot of characters in that movie … Some movies can be 90 minutes and feel like they’re four hours. And some movies can be three and a half hours and feel like 90 minutes."

Avengers: Endgame is due to hit the UAE theatres on April 25.
