How many minutes long is the standard theatrical cut of Avengers: Endgame?

The standard theatrical cut of Avengers: Endgame is 181 minutes long.

Released in 2019, Endgame runs for just over three hours, making it one of the longest films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its unusually large runtime reflects the film’s role as the conclusion to the Infinity Saga up to that point, bringing together characters and storylines from 21 earlier MCU films.

The film follows the surviving Avengers and their allies as they attempt to reverse Thanos’s destruction of half of all life. Its story moves between the aftermath of Infinity War, time-travel missions to earlier events, and the climactic Battle of Earth. The runtime includes a substantial character-focused middle section as well as the extended final battle and emotional epilogue.

A common mix-up is confusing the 181-minute theatrical runtime with later special screenings or re-releases. Endgame was also shown in a 2019 re-release containing additional post-credits material, but the original standard theatrical cut remains 181 minutes. It was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and released in the United States on April 26, 2019.
