There is little doubt that Deadpool & Wolverine will carry the brooch of hope for Gen Z and millennials alike. With its bold claim of being the Marvel Jesus, fans expect much more from the movie than meets the eye. The creators and officials have consistently delivered on their promises, with every Easter egg aligning with expectations, and a recent update has further bolstered its reputation. AMC Theatres recently listed the movie's runtime as 127 minutes (2 hours and 7 minutes) on its website.

Marvel Studios have not yet confirmed this runtime. However, if accurate, Deadpool & Wolverine would be the longest Deadpool movie to date. The original 2016 Deadpool clocked in at 108 minutes (1 hour and 48 minutes), and 2018’s Deadpool 2 lasted 119 minutes (1 hour and 59 minutes). Additionally, Deadpool & Wolverine is set to become the seventh-longest movie in the MCU’s multiverse saga.
