As the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse approaches, fans are eager to learn more about the upcoming sequel. Recently, a rumor has surfaced that sheds light on how long Sony Pictures’ Marvel sequel will be.

Marketing for Spider-Verse 2 has been ramping up, with Sony Pictures releasing a new trailer and a variety of character posters to build anticipation for the film. The exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but we know that Miles Morales will meet numerous Spider-people from the Multiverse, and there is a surprise reference to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

What Is Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’s Runtime?

According to scooper Cryptic4KQual, who has been a reliable source for runtime information on recent projects, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes. This makes it the longest-ever major Hollywood studio animated movie, beating the previous record holder, Consuming Spirits, which has a length of 2 hours and 16 minutes.

Spider-Verse 2’s rumored runtime puts it in third place among all Spider-Man movies, behind Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Why Is Spider-Verse 2’s Runtime Longer Than Expected?

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s lengthy runtime isn’t surprising considering the sequel is expected to resolve and introduce many storylines. The love triangle between Spider-Punk, Spider-Gwen, and Miles Morales is one of the subplots that is expected to be resolved, and the arrival of the secret Spider Society is one of the plotlines that is expected to be introduced.

The movie’s unprecedented length could also mean that Spider-Verse 2 may spend more time introducing new characters to the audience, such as Issa Rae’s Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk, and Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099. Additionally, the movie is rumored to potentially include cameos from live-action characters from the likes of Venom and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and fans can’t wait to see how the sequel plays out. With a record-breaking runtime and a lot of moving parts, the movie promises to be an epic adventure for Miles Morales and the Spider-people. The movie is set to premiere in theaters on Friday, June 2, and we can’t wait to see it!
