Some of the longest American-made animated movies are Consuming Spirits (2 hours, 16 minutes), The Lord of the Rings (2 hours, 12 minutes), I am Nightmare (2 hours, 8 minutes), Fantasia (2 hours, 6 minutes), Heart String Marionette (2 hours, 1 minute), and more.
In terms of the Spider-man movies made to date, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse would rank third in terms of runtime among all films to date.
Presently, Spider-Man: No Way Home still has the record for the longest runtime for any Spider-Man-based movie, which is 2 hours, 28 minutes.
Why Is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse’s Runtime So Long?
With the new detail about the movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse running for a longer duration, the question about its length is valid. However, the storyline of the sequel film is expected to resolve and introduce several storylines. Some instances include the love triangle between Spider-Punk, Spider-Gwen, and Miles Morales and the formation of the secret Spider Society.
The film’s unexpected length could also mean that Spider-Verse 2 might elaborate on the entry of the new characters and their introduction to the audience. Some new add-ons to the movie include Issa Rae’s Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk, and Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099.
There are rumors about the potential crossover of some live-action heroes’ cameo in the film. The front runners in the list include Tom Hardy’s Venom and especially Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man. If the inclusion is real, then the long run time seems justified, given the needed time to balance the long list of characters.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be released in theatres on 2 June 2023.
