DC Movie Universe: 10 Major Developments You Need To Know
9. Justice League's Runtime Confirmed
Like Superman in a hurry, Justice League looks like it will absolutely fly by because multiple reports suggest it will be the DC movie universe's shortest film so far.
Jeremy Conrad at Manabyte claims to have heard from multiple sources that the movie's cinematic cut will clock in at a concise 121 minutes. While this is relatively short by superhero blockbuster standards, it isn't unheard of within the genre.
Indeed, X-Men: First Class and Guardians of the Galaxy are both ensemble movies with similar runtimes, and critically acclaimed ones at that.
When Joss Whedon took over the Justice League director's chair following a tragedy in Zack Snyder's household, it was immediately apparent that the final product would be lighter, more colourful and streamlined, but it's unclear whether the two-hour runtime is part of this process.
In any case, a longer cut of the movie is likely to end up coming out on home media, as was the case with Batman v Superman, for those curious about what was removed for the cinematic release.
