Now that we have an official trailer, poster, and release date [1] for Avengers: Endgame, it's time to start preparing ourselves for the mental and emotional stress the movie is going to put us through. Avengers: Infinity War [2] was already a roller coaster [3], but considering everything we're expecting to happen [4] in the epic fourth Avengers instalment, it's going to take a while for us to recover. And because Marvel is so relentless in their endeavour to completely wreck us, Avengers: Endgame might be the longest running Marvel Studios movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film was still going through the editing process as of Nov. 8 with a runtime of three hours [5]. If that sticks, it'll take the crown — or gauntlet — as the lengthiest Marvel movie. The film that currently holds the title is Infinity War, which runs for two hours and 36 minutes [6]. We know that are a lot of loose ends to tie [7] and new beginnings [8] to introduce. It's the end of an era as well as the start of a new one, after all, so it's not surprising that Avengers: Endgame will keep us at the edge of our seats a little longer than usual. But we certainly don't mind — we'll just bring extra snacks and tissues to the theatre when the movie drops on April 26, 2019.
