Russo Brothers Say Avengers 4 Will Likely Be Even Longer Than Infinity War

Joe and Anthony Russo say Avengers 4 will be even longer than Avengers: Infinity War and if they've considered releasing a 3-hour movie.
Like all of you, I couldn’t be more excited to see Avengers: Infinity War. As a huge fan of what the Russo brothers did on Captain America: Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, my expectations for Infinity War are probably a bit too lofty, but if anyone can pull this colossal movie off it’s directors Joe and Anthony Russo, screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and Kevin Feige with his amazing producing team at Marvel Studios.
With the movie set to world premiere Monday night in Hollywood, a massive press junket with the stars and filmmakers was held here in Los Angeles this weekend. Since no one has seen the movie yet, doing the interviews was a bit unusual, so when I sat down with Joe and Anthony Russo yesterday, I decided to use my limited time to focus on the future and not what’s about to come out. After all, since they can’t talk about the specifics of Infinity War, why not focus on what’s next?
During the interview, I tried to get the Russos to confirm if Avengers 4 would be called Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet, if Avengers 4 will be longer than Infinity War, how many post-credits scenes Avengers: Infinity War has, and a lot more. Trust me, if you’re a fan of the Russo brothers, you’ll enjoy watching what they had to say.

24 hours movie? IDGAF. bring it on

[@cn8299]

Just sounds like a challenge to me!

[@7jc1rr9]

try watching every marvel movie or the hobbit and the lord of the rings in a row. If it ever comes to that the movie will have breaks for people to move and go to the restroom xD

[@sudhanidhib4636]

Yeah bring it on

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

JC rr it’s called an intermission and it used to actually be a thing.

[@asuraspath2262]

ClaMitch TV Would love that too.

[@Krispy95]

3 hour movie would be awesome!

[@spider-mantheserperior1605]

Galva Tron fuck disney

[@mrreddead]

Why would disney not allowed them?

[@hamzfake2575]

So dicks

[@warnpeace3900]

Kris Perez I know right

[@themadtitan7603]

Galva Tron Haven't you watched the video they clearly said Disney doesn't put the time mandate on them.

[@Brook11223]

If the film is like 2 hours and 50 minutes long I don't mind.

[@oaaees]

if the film is like 6 hours long I dont mind.

[@KofisUniverse]

Raghu Seetharaman ii

[@brentpham1155]

Johan Paredes I wouldn't mind either but maybe a 15-30 intermission would be nice.

[@ahmedsulz8265]

Wtf is this UR ON EVERY VID

[@jonfx6768]

Raghu Seetharaman GO AWAY

[@AlexiGVS]

Release 3-hour version on BluRay, please!

[@2402devin]

Alexi GVS or 4

[@TravisHouze]

Alexi GVS they NEVER do directors cut

[@the_spyderwebb]

Alexi GVS ummm...you still use BluRay?

[@heythereimcloud2231]

4k

[@1983Dave1983]

4K and 1080p blu ray should have uncut version. i.e Hulk in final fight and likes like Thanos' "this brings a smile to my face"

[@yoavsofer1477]

I wouldn't mind it being 24 hours long.

[@jellymarck2574]

Crazy Dude I wouldn't mind a 364 days film tbh

[@ferax4598]

I wouldn’t mind it being 14843070750583296699739636936970780874808355307507507075085385357957937539570575752597575757570255797587552885080572575175272701720715572527525757585285852852525285705207255747401140746147710725085750579288348933937382837392838382782826852579572259725770257525870258802570528520258856886236862628682582582582750257258282852582862 years long

[@musclemanmanmuscle3720]

Slow down brah

[@carloseskimo]

I wouldnt mind watching it while in line for the dmv, but 4 hours isnt long enough

[@DanielR-lk1vg]

Yeah lol, I would spend the rest of my life watching one long mcu movie tbh lol.

[@Chris-fj4wn]

Interviewer said "infinity gauntlet" and instantly the russos went into kill mode. Theyre comic directors, but i believe theyre past mafia members. This interviewer is done for. Joe was even cracking his knuckles getting ready for carnage.

Joe was ready to crack some skulls! hahahahaha

[@SaulBadmon]

Joe's gonna stab this SOB in Anthony's trunk tonight.

[@ES1Baller]

This comment made me laugh so hard

[@steg1977]

TheMaximus Brave hello is this Venom I would like to order a KILL INTERVIEWER PACKAGE is that available

[@r4pidstudios26]

TheMaximus Brave I don’t think infinity Gauntlet would be a good name for avengers 4

[@benv7933]

3 and 1/2 hours, I’m totally down!!!

[@jessehuft892]

Ben V me to.

[@zack7438]

thats fantastic, i dont mind it being 3 hours 30 mins

[@Keepmovingson]

ZACK 254 Not enough people have a high enough attention span for this to be possible, sadly.

[@major5381]

ZACK 254 I don't mind it being a 6 hour movie.

[@aheartonfire7191]

Lord of the Rings anybody?

[@dhruv1863]

I can watch them for whole day let alone 3 hours

[@kumabanh1744]

That might be too long

[@gracea8661]

Infinity war took 2hrs and 30 mins and it feels really short because it is full packed action sci fi. It's a great movie and i barely noticed the 2 hrs and 30 minutes runtime. If the film is really good and the people attention is in it , you wont notice the time at all because you appreciate the story and you are enjoying it which means the film is real good. If the movie has a real good storyline and people is into it and they are so engage of what will happen next, the last thing that they will notice is the time. So i hope Russo brothers will focus on story line and not too much to worry about the runtime. Excited for the avengers 4 and btw, next yr is a long wait lol

[@weijuinwong6897]

Grace Ade couldn’t agree more

[@mistermars9534]

No one in their right mind would mind a 3 hour long movie if done right with the pacing. Infinity War was 2:30 but it went by fast as hell.

[@juicebox8549]

foreals, last time i saw a 3 hour movie was transformers, no good movies ever since, except infinity war.

[@Banestudent21]

I’m glad Anthony Russo is coming out of his shell because whenever you see interviews with these 2 it’s always Joe answering. My boy Ant👏🏾

[@TravisHouze]

Banestudent21 yea. Like in winter soldier, Anthony almost never talked and now they are both talking over each other

[@CartmanMorisato]

I LOVE how pushy this interviewer is.

[@matthewroreilly]

Roman Flores it throws people off, he’s hoping they slip lol, he needs to do presidential debates

[@adamsolomon8346]

LMAO this guy is a BEAST!!!

[@chevy_boy4548]

Roman Flores hell yeah great interviewer

[@ronpetersen2317]

At least he didn't cuss constantly like an unprofessional douche. He has leveled up and opted not to cuss in interviews. Good for him.

[@Chris-fj4wn]

Nah i hate frosty hes annoying as fuck.

[@JuanVJuanMe]

I honestly didn’t feel like it was 2 hours 30 min it felt like 30min

[@straightouttaalderaan6672]

Getting so excited. Please give us those extra long reviews and breakdowns! Would love to see a panel just for the red carpet experience and stories, too.

[@marcpatrol]

Why the interviwers try to get spoilers???? it is like they don't respect the fans at all

[@Kylesaystuff]

marcpatrol 一but thats how they really want to digg something... eventhough it is not respect them

[@TravisHouze]

marcpatrol because honestly I feel like fans would ask for spoilers also if they asked them

[@raihanputraperdana9216]

fvck you

[@theBCBOMBER]

Isn’t it obvious ? Because they want the most views on their video . If they capture the footage of the directors slipping up and spoiling something then their interview will be the most popular and make the most money

[@ronpetersen2317]

Just for the trying. He knows he won't get any.

[@danielmedjedovic7068]

I feel like 2hr and 30 min is quite short for Infinity War, its alot to wrap up but...I trust the Russos and hope everything will be great

[@Chenso2099]

Daniel Medjedovic They’re obviously continuing the story with Avengers 4, so I don’t mind if it’s “quite short”. It’s already longer than all the marvel movies. Infinity war won’t wrap up in one movie either, as I said before.

[@thoomolong]

Kevin Rivera how do you know IW wont wrap in this movie? It isn't called "infinity war part 1"

[@Chenso2099]

Tim Terrell Avengers 4 is a continuation of the events of IW. It’s why the Russos don’t want to spoil it’s title cause it would end up spoiling IW. Thanos’ Quest won’t end in one movie.

[@thoomolong]

Kevin Rivera No one except the filmmakers and Disney studio execs know for sure.

[@lockay101]

Hahahha i seen it last night, you are all gonna be shocked

[@CoD4Disturbed]

Make Avengers 4 around 3 hours long, Russos! Please! We will love you forever!

[@lukamarjanov366]

CoD4Disturbed or even longer.Like 3 hours and 30 mins.Infinity war part 1 was amazinv

[@lukamarjanov366]

CoD4Disturbed amazing*

[@GladiatorStudiosXX]

Hello! I am from the future. We are almost 2 weeks away and the title is Avengers: Endgame.

[@technoir1119]

Where's the Anthony Mackie interview? 😃 😃

[@elijahsamuelll]

Avengers 8 6 days and 2 hours

[@rb6981]

Upload the next interview ASAP this was great the interviewer is amazing at his job the Russo brothers clearly trust and like talking to him because he knows his stuff

[@c4ghts1]

Frosty was kinda rude this interview

[@yours_truly_malloy1708]

No Name playing

[@obsidian4005]

The Russo brothers can do no wrong, they are fantastic filmmakers. Infinity War, Winter Soldier, and Civil War are the best of the best.

[@bgkid14]

I like Frosty....Kinda botched this interview to me

[@shaoiliu]

I would GLADLY PAY DOUBLE for a 3h Avengers film. Fuck it. Triple. I'd happily pay 60$ to watch Avengers 4

[@17thsavior]

Waiting for the interview to miss Mackie or Hiddleston lmao

[@TheEdge2002]

And now it's confirmed Avengers: Endgame is 3 hours 2 minutes!!

[@JACH1998]

I just saw infinity war, and let me tell you, these guys are geniuses. Idc how long the movie is, as long as these guys are directing it, I'll be fine.

[@erwinandres5332]

I want Avengers 4 to be 3 hours like LOTR, Avatar and Braveheart. However, I trust the Russo brothers to do their thing. They did a tremendous job with Infinity War in terms of delivery and pacing and making it a quality movie. I watched it yesterday and it was awesome!

[@roderickuzumaki6002]

A year-long marvel movie sounds great to me

[@travelledbones]

if Avengers Endgame was 234723473563 hours long, I would take off work and watch the whole thing.

[@breakingnews2664]

We need Lord of the Rings length Avengers 4! Look at Titanic and Avatar, biggest box office hails of all time with length of at least 3hrs each.

[@jareddouglas7003]

Breaking News avatar is only about 2hrs 30mins though.

[@InfiniteUmbra]

The Russo's are legendary at this point. They have turned in 3 of the best CBM's in the genre and now the greatest CBM of all time in Infinity War. Can not wait to see Avengers 4.

[@mrcrock2095]

Please let it be at least 3 hours! Infinity should have been 3 hours , such an amazing movie

[@GilliganKrueger0829]

Honestly, I would be totally okay if we got a three hour Avengers movie! If any Marvel movie deserves that lengthy of a runtime, I think it’s this one!

[@xrayblaster4874]

Wow, this was 4 years ago. I remember seeing Infinity War in theaters when it came out

[@rustybuns5397]

Watch it be like a few minutes longer. Like how IW is only a few minutes longer than Civil War. 😒

[@xXDexter3000Xx]

are you gonna make it??

[@rustybuns5397]

Brish Dimler lol

[@Chenso2099]

Well they did say it could easily be 3 hours. Who knows?

[@wisegreenwanderer6815]

D Death yeah so?

[@DanielR-lk1vg]

D Death Ummm...that Few minutes is actually a huge deal.

[@1setten]

I felt like I only watched a 1 hour movie. never bored.

[@tiagocruz10]

Would love to see a 3 hour Avengers movie. Hopefully they go for it.

[@MADBONE0]

3 hours in nothing compared to how long I have to wait between Infinity war and A4

[@FinalConsensus]

Man, I love these directors. Their work on Infinity War was incredible. I love the first Avengers but damn the Russos blow Whedon out of the water. Thank you guys for Civil War and Infinity War and Avengers 4! (I didn't watch Winter Soldier).

[@TNovix]

Really hoping they push towards 4 hours. That would be an amazing Avengers finale!

[@coolinr9302]

I watched infinity war not even once thinking about the time of the movie. When the content is that pure, you dont even notice

[@dennisvandermoolen5640]

100% down for the title to NOT be Infinity Gauntlet AT ALL

[@beardedmidget553]

I hope Avengers 4 is 3 hours at least. I just watched Infinity War and I can say with *NO SPOILERS* so much was happening, so it felt so short and it was 2 1/2 hours. Amazing film. If you're a fan, it's not recommended, it's REQUIRED for you to watch!

[@deans0209]

Guys. Thank you for infinity war. You guys are genius.

[@tankgunner9860]

We are all here for the Frosty drama, lets be real......

[@SillyOzzy]

What did he tweet that was so bad? Can't find anything about it

[@samuelmyth8392]

Media Inhaler Tank Gunner Basically Frosty had an interview with one of the actors from Infinity war (we don't know who) and it went very wrong. Aparently the Actor said some really horrible shit to him. And Frosty posted two tweets about what happened, and now he deleted them.

[@blueskybelyr]

I'm betting Frosty was the one that acted the asshole to one of them. I mean the candidates are Hiddleston, Holland, Ruffalo - all 3 of whom are like, famous for being sweethearts - and Benadryl, Don Cheadle and Mackie, who can get salty but are all without a doubt professionals. Plus, they were in a group interview, I hardly think one of them would have gone off like that in front of respected colleagues without a very good reason. Frosty also said the 'rant' was uninterrupted, so I'm thinking whoever it was had good points :/

[@leonalivingston8041]

Tank Gunner I had a theory that his shirt, because he's been known to wear offensive shirts, set the person off. But if he's wearing a Scott Pilgrim tee then that can't be why. I'm going full Sherlock Holmes on this.

[@Tomp224]

Blue Sky Confirmed by Frosty’s tweets that is was neither Dave Bautista or Josh Brolim. However not sure if that narrows it down, not sure who’s on the press tour

[@dannysanchez776]

Wow. Did this dude just get a lot of info out of the Russo Brothers? 😱 He deserves a medal.

[@gban2647]

If the film goes on for even 4 hours I wouldn't be tired of seeing that.

[@moviefan700]

Good! Even at 2.5hrs I wanted more after the movie. Keep it going guys!

[@MrClark-df9qn]

Its amazing that these guys work so well together. I have two brothers and could never work with either one.

[@mkleejr34]

Robert Lange Yes that do work well together I just hope don't plan on having any Sex changes anytime soon. Like the last directing siblings that Brothers in title we were happy with. You may know who I'm talking about? Don't fall down the rabbit hole figuring out? (Hint)

[@echosattic3405]

I hope it's longer than 2 hours and 30 minutes.

[@planetmuskvlog3047]

How about a post-credits tribute instead... not leading into future stories, but rather an epic montage looking back over the entire Universe of films... an inspiring, epic edit! Would be a nice “cherry on top”!

[@VRR92]

I am so glad to hear this :D I was wishing that the movie never ended while was Infinity War.

[@BradTheDead]

Three hours. Let's go. Do it.

[@EctoPlasmic]

Imagine one person in the world just be like ' I'm just here for the credits'. hahhaha

[@bogeyboi]

2.5 hours is the perfect time length of a Marvel movie.

[@iMck3nzie]

Please Russos make it 3 plus hours long please!!!!!!!😩😩🤤😩😩

[@phoebesbridges1676]

If there's no Cumberbatch interview, Cumberbatch was the guy who roasted Weintraub.

[@Cheeks730]

for real? lol where the interview i gotta see this

[@therealmichaelgarcia6113]

Jurgen Mema nah Steve and him get along

[@kirito4548]

PapiDarko, we’ll likely never get to see the interview :-/

[@huamulan9279]

And plus, the Cumberbatch one was *with* Tom Holland... so why would Cumberbatch do that in front of Holland? What kind of example would he be setting? There's absolutely no way...

[@malcolmflex7997]

It was Mackie. Who cares the guys a dick are we really making a big deal out of this?

[@mustangman9558]

I don't mind having it 3 hours long and I hope 3 hour version will be on Blu Ray and DVD that will be so awesome

[@mavibaso]

3:13 the way both of them looked at him after that lmaoo

[@hersheytube3890]

Let’s start speculating who Frosty had the terrible interview with

[@therealmichaelgarcia6113]

Hershey Tube Anthony mackie probably

[@BarbaDjole]

Someone put out a list of all the actors he interviewed that day, so it would probably be Mackie of all those on the list.

[@hersheytube3890]

Cumberbatch?

[@thenerdyboii6436]

I thought that it was personally very unprofessional of Frosty to not even reveal who the actor was. Now everyone is doubting every single Marvel actor for Infinity War and it puts the film as a whole in a bad rep. But yeah, it was either Mackie or Pratt.

[@janine1216]

Yeah... That's sucks

[@VictorGonzalez-vj6jy]

Infinity War honestly did. It feel like it was 2:30 hours long. When that film started it kept going and didn’t let up. Loved it.

[@Cofixx]

When does avengers 4 star filming?Has it already started?

[@Truck0331]

Filip Milinkovic yes

[@connormoore2259]

They flimed them both back to back its all ready made

[@ranzudezuLRTC]

It's already done haha 🤣

[@ririsasy]

Filip Milinkovic lmao it already end

[@ProfecyFiber]

Yeah filmin for these movies takes under a year, the CGI and special affects is what kills the timeline

[@unclejohn4528]

It should be longer, about an hour longer. Infinity war should’ve been about 30-45 minutes longer...

[@pterrific5453]

I want a 4 hour sequel

[@Leonunez_]

3 hours and 2 minutes long confirmed homies we lit

[@SpinKing69]

Just saw Infinity War. All I’m gonna say is I NEED to see avengers 4 immediately

[@jessepalmateer9127]

Me watching an avengers film: I could do this all day

[@asiangeeks3316]

Come on Disney, we want a 3 hour avengers movie

[@thatguyyouthoughtyouknewon7620]

Less than 2 months away from Endgame, the film is finished, and a month ago the Russo’s said that is was 3 hours at that time. So this could become a reality!

[@MaverickneoGamer]

YES PLEASE!! Top it off at 3 hours! I wanted more in IW part 1!

[@derrickmutatsh1717]

as long as it's still Avengers4, no problem you can release a 3hours damn movie of course we gonna watch it all.

[@akshatjajoo]

Were they trolling the interviewer!😂😂😂😂

[@nexgen696]

Seems like it, he was being proper pushy so they were trolling him good hahaha

[@MrSk8erkbw]

Have not even watched this video yet and am completely commenting off the title: Good, infinity war was awesome, so much great use of character knowledge in the fight scenes. Like Capt’s scene blocking thanos’s first punch...and so much more. That scene with spiderman mimicking a spider dying and incorporating that spider sense concept. Marvel is doing well at keeping things fresh without destroying the characters. I for one would not want to see the comics played out verbatim because then they’d be boring. I like how the directors have done really well at encapsulating the spirit of the comics.

[@luke-fy3ti]

I will definitely go to the midnight screening of Avengers 4

[@cityuenglish5722]

it better be longer to be honest, i am fine with a 24 hours movie

[@jhovi3170]

Wtf 😂😂

[@39Hundred]

Infinity War went so fast. Didn’t seem long at all.

[@jaybizzle1995]

good, natural pace is more crucial for me than pure runtime, but thats just me

[@kylewarner2828]

Even though its the longest film yet, avengers 3 felt short, like too much got cut out, it felt like a "best bits compilation" of a whole season. It didn't need more action but i think an extra half hour of dialogue and include seeing thanos taking the power stone from xandar, that would have been good to give us an idea of thanoses power without any stones

[@smidt3d]

Only 3 hours?? Why not 4 or 5 hours????? I love Marvel!

[@cityuenglish5722]

please release extended cut

[@ptonfire1]

Don't know why but the movie seemed like it was a hour long.....thats how u know u did good... Great job Ruso Bros.

[@dvaccaro96]

I could've watched another 2 hours of Infinity War when it ended, so a 3hr Avengers 4 would be absolutely ok

[@hellothere2464]

The great thing about infinity war was at this certain part (which I will not say) I was like “now the real story begins!” And then it ends. What the heck. Beautiful movie by the way

[@madsam9403]

3 hr 15 minutes of runtime and 10-15 minutes post credits would be cool

[@CH-dr1dr]

They say they have an "assembly" of the Avengers 4, a few weeks ago I saw an interview (promoting IW) saying they hadn't even started cutting it yet?

[@ryan-mk5sc]

They should of let Schnepp do the interviewing! OH WAIT! He doesn't even get to go to the premiere!

[@mxwells216]

Steve "Frosty" Weintraub is an A+ interviewer

[@VEILmscx]

😂😂😂😂 “There ARE credits! They’re amazing credits”

[@jok3r2015]

A 3 hour film would be fair for all the pain we have gone through not to mention the waiting game will take a toll both mentally and physically 😂🤣

[@clashsmchitcle7291]

Idk if its 10 hours long,infinity war felt short even though it wasnt, its so captivating and amazing!!! Once it was over i kept wanting to watch more

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

80% of Infinity War was just character introduction. More characters are being added in Avengers 4 and extra minutes to the movie doesn't change anything.

[@isaiahthagoat4036]

If you think that Imma sit my ass down for 5 hours and see an Avengers movie, then you’re absolutely right

[@sarahm3304]

Okay but who was rude to Frosty cus this is what I need to know lol

[@HARLEMHEFNER]

I don't think Avengers Infinity War will leave with a cliffhanger for part 4 but I do think it's it's going to be a time Jump

[@derangedcrowd]

With the fast pace of infinity war, those 2 and a half hours went by quick. I think even more run time would be perfectly fine, especially if the pacing is the same as the first part.

[@fabiolawalker689]

A three hour avengers movie sounds great

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

RIP the interviewer, Cause Joe probably killed him after lol

[@jonahhaake5635]

Yes please make it at least 3 hours!

[@aaronfreeman3601]

If Disney can allow Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End to be 168 minutes long (which btw is their longest film yet) Im sure they wouldn't mind doing the same with Avengers 4.
