The official runtime for Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity has been revealed – and it’s considerably shorter than we anticipated.
Cinema ticketing website Fandango (opens in new tab) lists the length of Physician Unusual 2 as two hours and 6 minutes (126 minutes), which is sort of half an hour shorter than beforehand rumored (opens in new tab) and the shortest runtime of any Marvel film since 2019’s Captain Marvel (124 minutes).
In fact, a 126 minute-long movie is a far cry from a fast watch – but it surely’s a a lot smaller time funding than the near-three-hour runtimes we’ve seen from fellow Marvel films Avengers: Endgame, Eternals and Spider-Man: No Manner House in recent times.

It’s price noting that neither Marvel nor a scores board has confirmed the film’s 126-minute runtime simply but, however given Fandango’s standing as a good ticketing website – and one already promoting tickets for Physician Unusual 2 – we’re assured of its authenticity.

The title alone is a giveaway, however Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity appears to be like primed to ship all kinds of multiverse-induced surprises (extra on these under) that had us anticipating a for much longer runtime. Benedict Cumberbatch himself has teased the film’s scope and scale, not too long ago telling Empire (opens in new tab) that “it’s an enormous, massive film […] an absolute riot.”
As such, we’re stunned by that refreshingly digestible 126-minute determine, and it’s thrilling to see that Raimi and firm clearly plan on delivering a concise story that focuses on high quality over amount – a advantage typically misplaced on earlier Marvel productions.
Evaluation: put together for (a whole lot of) insanity
