The week is finally upon us. Actually, there are just over two days to go (unless you are taking in a Thursday night screening) before the majesty of Avengers: Infinity War reaches our eye sockets. You might think you’re ready for it, but chances are you haven’t watched the likes of some of the lesser appreciated Marvel movies such as The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 or Thor: The Dark World in some time.
If you’ve got a few vacation days and perhaps a mound of chocolate-covered espresso beans to kill, there’s still just enough hours in the day (and night, of course) to catch up before Thanos lays the smackdown on everything and everyone you hold dear. According to Screen Rant, not including the latest Avengers flick (but including all the post-credits scenes Marvel loves so much), they tally up to 38 hours and 19 minutes of your life. Talk about a colossal runtime.
The bigger question on everyone’s mind: Is There A Giant Penis In The Middle Of This ‘Avengers’ Poster?
Obviously, no one wants to stay up for two consecutive days straight before immediately heading to the cineplex for a 2 hour and 29 minute epic. So here’s the individual times courtesy of SR in case you want to do some cherry-picking instead:
For the record, the runtimes are Iron Man (2 hours, 6 minutes), The Incredible Hulk (1 hour, 52 minutes), Iron Man 2 (2 hours, 5 minutes), Thor (1 hour, 54 minutes), Captain America: The First Avenger (2 hours, 4 minutes), The Avengers (2 hours, 23 minutes), Iron Man 3 (2 hours, 11 minutes), Thor: The Dark World (1 hour, 52 minutes), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2 hours, 16 minutes), Guardians of the Galaxy (2 hours, 2 minutes), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2 hours, 21 minutes), Ant-Man (1 hour, 57 minutes), Captain America: Civil War (2 hours, 27 minutes), Doctor Strange (1 hour, 55 minutes), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2 hours, 17 minutes), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2 hours, 13 minutes), Thor: Ragnarok (2 hours, 10 minutes), and Black Panther (2 hours, 14 minutes).
Who would have thought the culmination of 18 movies would wind up just two minutes longer than Civil War? Well, since time is of the essence, we’d recommend you get cracking.
