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.

[@cladgevlogs]

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.

[@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"

[@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

[@benv7933]

3 and 1/2 hours, I’m totally down!!!

[@jessehuft892]

Ben V me to.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@technoir1119]

Where's the Anthony Mackie interview? 😃 😃

[@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.

[@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

[@c4ghts1]

Frosty was kinda rude this interview

[@yours_truly_malloy1708]

No Name playing

[@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

[@bgkid14]

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

[@17thsavior]

Waiting for the interview to miss Mackie or Hiddleston lmao

[@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.

[@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.

[@1setten]

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

[@moviefan700]

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

[@roderickuzumaki6002]

A year-long marvel movie sounds great to me

[@pterrific5453]

I want a 4 hour sequel

[@xrayblaster4874]

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

[@MADBONE0]

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

[@issiewizzie]

good interview ...good job

[@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

[@elidagoat24]

Avengers 8 6 days and 2 hours

[@Jegfil]

So is there a possibility of an extended cut or not? I didn't really get that.

[@SillyOzzy]

Frosty lol love your style of interview

[@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)

[@deans0209]

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

[@ryan-mk5sc]

hey ODE has a good interview with these guys!

[@akshatjajoo]

Were they trolling the interviewer!😂😂😂😂

[@nexgen696]

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

[@BradTheDead]

Three hours. Let's go. Do it.

[@hussain1921]

Bring it on. I lotr extended edition marathoned it....I cant make it

[@cityuenglish5722]

please release extended cut

[@jonahhaake5635]

Yes please make it at least 3 hours!

[@nutmegforevertributechanne6112]

Awesome T-shirt Frosty!!!

[@tiagocruz10]

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

[@nuclear2643]

When will the first trailer be out for the Avengers 4

[@mavibaso]

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

[@VRR92]

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

[@user-iy3wx2tl6t]

so excited for this, a 3 hour dude im downnnn

[@adrianhurtado1997]

3 hours please!

[@Muckers.]

Gunna be one hell of a boxset.

[@jaybizzle1995]

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

[@farid1406]

Lol such THOUGHT PROVOKING questions

[@TNovix]

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

[@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”!

[@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?

[@luke-fy3ti]

I will definitely go to the midnight screening of Avengers 4

[@pierce8878]

The one on the left *Anothony* sounds just like Kevin Feige!

[@iMck3nzie]

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

[@sarahm3304]

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

[@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.

[@steg1977]

3 HOURS SWEET hey can I see the 11 pm show

[@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.

[@angiera1405]

Anthony is wearing a University of Pennsylvania shirt but I couldn’t find any information online about him having attended. Does anyone know more about this topic?

[@lukemccann2024]

This guy is a great interviewer

[@echosattic3405]

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

[@Mrjonnyjonjon123]

"there are credits" That cracked me up

[@MaverickneoGamer]

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

[@Leonunez_]

3 hours and 2 minutes long confirmed homies we lit

[@bogeyboi]

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

[@asiangeeks3316]

Come on Disney, we want a 3 hour avengers movie

[@jessepalmateer9127]

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

[@EctoPlasmic]

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

[@hersheytube3890]

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

[@therealmichaelgarcia6113]

Hershey Tube Anthony mackie probably

[@djordjepetrovic4823]

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

[@shaoiliu]

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

[@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

[@cityuenglish5722]

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

[@jhovi3170]

Wtf 😂😂

[@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

[@789edw456in]

So you’re going to premiere today and going to see Mackie there huh?

[@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).

[@thumbnail8087]

Make it a whole day. 😂🤭✌🏼 I can do this all day -Captain Rogers ❤️💙

[@VoiceNerd]

Shoutout to Frosty for being awesome as always!!

[@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?

[@dwaynefernandes2644]

Love these guys

[@zoroffy_2248]

Please make it 4 hours long

[@stealahb]

speaking of the score, any ideas when the soundtrack may be coming out?

[@desirereleased3423]

Tracy Hutchings the score tends to come out when the film does

[@stealahb]

thanks Desire. i've found though that sometimes it's a good few days before the film releases. i was able to get my Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Force Awakens and i think Last Jedi album off amazon just before; wondered if the same might've applied here or [perhaps] the track listing may be a tad spoilery for some and thus, they may hold off releasing it till after.

[@KnightLxght]

Holy shit credits are confirmed!

[@rigobertolopezmateo]

3 hours! Let's do it!!!!!

[@moviefan700]

The guys are so bloody talented!

[@VAIBHAV-fl6dl]

Bhai suspense alag level ka chhoda hai

[@sixthsith7720]

Hmmm. He said 'it's more of an assembly'... Wonder if that was a hint 0:35?

[@gban2647]

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

[@volumedealer2716]

The Russos are great. Fun interviews.

[@travelledbones]

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

[@The80sWolf_]

Im waiting for the 7 hour Avengers 12

[@dannysanchez776]

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

[@fabiolawalker689]

A three hour avengers movie sounds great

[@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

[@SuperSaiyan3985]

These two are masters of their craft. Bless them.

[@Dousch]

Looking forward to Secret Wars
