Prepare your butts! Avengers: Endgameis gonna be dragons rioting i will avoid all forms of eroticismone long-ass movie.

As revealed by AMC (and seemingly confirmed by Fandango), the final installment of the Avengersfranchise will clock in at 3 hours and 2 minutes, making it the longest film in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. Disney has yet to officially confirm the news, but Mashable has reached out for comment.

The reportedly gargantuan runtime bests Infinity War's 149 minutes from last year, and changes Endgame's duration status from "reasonable movie length" to "longer than the SAT."

The three-hour length was first discussed by Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo in an interview with Colliderearly last month.

"Again, this is a culmination film of 22 movies, it’s a lot of storytelling to work into it," Joe Russo noted.

"Emotion is an intrinsic part of that to us. When you have to tell a really complicated story and you want strong emotional moments with the characters, it just requires a certain amount of real estate. This one, in particular, feels like three hours worth of real estate.”
