Deadpool & Wolverine Breaks Runtime Record
AMC Theaters listed Deadpool & Wolverine on its website with a runtime of 127 minutes (2 hours, 7 minutes).

What Deadpool & Wolverine’s Runtime Means
In truth, Deadpool & Wolverine‘s rumored runtime would only make it eight minutes longer than its predecessor and 19 minutes longer than the original film.
Even if this length is confirmed to be true, it means MCU fans are in for a wild ride from start to finish in the franchise’s first mutant-led film.
The rumored and confirmed cameos in this movie already have those excited for the blockbuster on the edge of their seats, especially after Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld hinted how massive the final call sheet would be.
Doctor Strange 2 showed MCU fans what could be done on the cameo front with a comparable runtime, which should bode well for a film featuring X-Men characters all the way through.
Test screenings for the threequel have also indicated fans are in for a “really good” movie, hopefully setting the stage for a successful MCU outing regardless of how long it is.
It’s also considered to be one of the most important upcoming movies in Marvel’s slate alongside the next two Avengers films, leaving many hopeful that the studio put its best effort in to make it a winner.
