10 Genuine Concerns About Spider-Man: No Way Home

8. The Epic Runtime

Avengers: Endgame's 181-minute runtime was pretty much pushing the audience's patience - and bladder control - to the limit, and while it's extremely unlikely that another MCU movie will get close to that length anytime soon, you should certainly expect No Way Home to be a long movie.

Though earlier rumours suggested that the film would clock in at a brutal 169 minutes, a recent report from a reputable leaker has the runtime at a more tolerable 148 minutes.

Even so, that would still make it the third-longest MCU film behind only Endgame and Eternals, and while No Way Home will clearly have a lot of characters and plot threads to juggle, that's still quite the sit.

The 120-minute blockbuster feels like a rarer commodity than ever these days, and after Eternals recently proved the MCU's fallability throughout its 157-minute runtime, there's every possibility No Way Home is more exhausting than entertaining, and even an outright slog.
