AVENGERS: ENDGAME Will NOT Feature An Intermission And There Will Be No Good Time To Go The Bathroom

Avengers: Endgame is going to clock in at over three hours, but Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that fans will struggle to find a good time to visit the bathroon as there's no intermission!

After weeks of rumours, we recently learned that Avengers: Endgame will be three hours and fifty eight seconds long. It goes without saying that sitting through the movie will be a challenge, especially if you're someone who gulps down your soda before the trailers are even over and then needs to take a bathroom break halfway through.

In a new interview, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that while the Infinity War sequel clocks in at over 180 minutes, there's a good reason for that and fans should be aware that there may not be a good moment to miss even a few seconds!

"We are not fans of laborious lengths for no reason," he explains. "We are fans of movies that you wish didn’t end. Movies that you want to see again as soon as it’s over. And movies that you just don’t ever find a good time to run out to the bathroom."

So, no pee break then, and those of you hoping your local theater will hold an intermission during Avengers: Endgame are going to be disappointed. Co-Director Anthony Russo confirms that the topic of a mid-movie break was only ever "discussed in jest."

To be fair, this is hardly the first three-hour blockbuster, and plenty of fans are used to sitting through movie marathons that go much longer than 3 hours! How will you guys be handling Avengers: Endgame's mammoth running time?

Continue reading below for our breakdown of the new Avengers: Endgame trailer!

Time Has Passed

There's been speculation about a time jump between Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame for a while now (mostly thanks to Black Widow's evolving hair colour), and the first shot in the trailer confirms that at least several months have passed.

Look closely at the driveway leading up to The Avengers Compound and you'll notice that it's become overgrown, and while that certainly doen't confirm that it's been years, it wouldn't be surprising if anywhere from six months to one full year has passed. Remember, the MCU does mostly move in real-time, so that would make sense based on past experience as well.

Oh, and look closely on the right and that might just be a new Quinjet!

Regrouping

The ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been left depleted following the events of Infinity War, and it's clear from these opening few seconds that the loss has hit them hard.

Bruce Banner is quick to point out that if they're going to go to war with Thanos, they'll be doing so "short-handed" and Rhodey doesn't waste any time in mentioning the reason for that. With a three-hour runtime, don't be surprised if the majority of the movie's first act deals with the fallout from the Mad Titan's fateful "Snap."

Captain America Loses The Beard

Captain America's beard in Infinity War got everyone talking, but between him having it in Captain Marvel's post-credits scene and not in many of the trailers, there's been a lot of confusion surrounding that apparent inconsistency.

Well, in this trailer, we finally get to see the moment Steve Rogers shaves off the facial hair and clearly decides to embrace his identity as Captain America again. Believe it or not, this could be a big character moment for him!

Tony And Nebula Return To Earth

While it was always pretty obvious that Iron Man and Nebula would find their way home, this trailer actually shows what happens after their arrival back on Earth, and we get to see some major reunions in the process. For starters, Nebula is clearly breaking the news to Rocket that the rest of the Guardians have died and he looks positively heartbroken.

As for Tony, he finally gets to embrace Pepper Potts, and with rumours still swirling that she will suit up as Rescue, we now know that the door is open to that becoming a reality due to the Stark Industries CEO being alive and well at this point in the movie.

Some Visual Changes

Iron Man's new armour looks downright amazing in action, but that's not the only change that has been made to some of Endgame's key characters. Clint Barton is rocking a very cool sleeve tattoo (which has to be further evidence of a time jump) and it seems as if some special effects have been improved upon because Thor summoning Stormbreaker definitely looks slightly different.

Assemble

This very cool group shot shows Captain America, Iron Man, War Machine, Hawkeye, Nebula, Rocket, Ant-Man, and Black Widow all in their civilian clothes looking ready to take action.

Whether the rest of the team is (there's no sign of Captain Marvel and Thor, for example) is hard to say, but just seeing this lot share the screen is pretty damn amazing - especially as we never could have imagined the Guardians interacting with The Avengers even just a few short years ago.

On an unrelated note, how awesome is Rocket's comic accurate uniform?

Friends Reunited

Captain America and Iron Man obviously reunite at an earlier point in Endgame than this, but it seems as if this could be the moment their fractured friendship is finally repaired.

I got full body chills at this point in the trailer, but looking at the background and the way Tony Stark is dressed, I'm wondering if these two may have found themselves back in the Battle of New York in 2012. If you recall some of the set photos from the movie, then there's definitely a chance that could be what's happening here.

Either way, that handshake could very well be a game changer in the fight against Thanos.

Avengers...In Spaaaaace!

Footage from Endgame was recently shown off by Disney to shareholders, and it seems as if this may have been one of those scenes. Earth's Mightiest Heroes are on board the Benatar but those white suits are nowhere to be seen, something which might be a strong indication that they aren't space suits at all, and the team suffers some sort of defeat the first time they go after Thanos before returning home.

It's then that they'll be forced to take drastic measures by travelling into the Quantum Realm and through time, something that's sure to lead to Thanos heading to Earth in order to try to put an end to them once and for all. We'll get to that later, though.

Avenge The Fallen

Iron Man watched Spider-Man die in his arms in Infinity War, and that's clearly hit him hard. While Tony has often acted with indifference towards Peter Parker, he cares about the youngster and seems to be carrying the weight of the wall-crawler's demise squarely on his shoulders.

The movie's tagline is "Avenge The Fallen," so expect stories like this to play a key role in the proceedings throughout.

Some Interesting Shots

In a series of random shots, we see Thanos' spaceship, War Machine and Nebula looking on at something unknown, a distraught looking Thor, a sad Rocket (possible on the Mad Titan's ship), and a beaten down Captain America.

These snippets have all been taken out of context, but leave us with plenty to think about and that's sure to be the reason why Marvel Studios chose to include them here.

Thanos Returns

We finally get a proper look at Thanos in this trailer and it seems as if he's used the power of the Space Stone to teleport to Earth...right? Well, it's not quite the same effect we saw in Infinity War and that may be because the Gauntlet's powers have been depleted.

Either way, it's an impressive looking shot, and the way the villain talks about how the team's failure has brought them back to him is definitely interesting. This is a piece of dialogue we can easily imagine being exchanged between the Mad Titan and Tony Stark, given their last interaction.

Battle At The Avengers Compound

The sheer amount of destruction at the end of the trailer definitely points to this being our first look at the final battle, and evidence continues to mount that it will take place at The Avengers Compound.

With the building clearly left in rubble, you have to believe that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will have a new base by the time the credits roll, and it might be a safe bet that it'll be somewhere on the West Coast!

The Trinity

Well, this is just plain awesome.

Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor all walk towards Thanos as he sits among the rubble, either defeated or contemplating his victory. Whatever the case may be, he's decked out in his armour (minus the helmet) and has that massive sword by his side - something which confirms that's not just a toy and will indeed factor into this adventure.

It seems appropriate that these three will face down the villain as they are Marvel's Trinity, but the big question on our minds right now is which of them, if any, makes it out alive?

Good thing I’ve got that iron bladder

regularmovieguy - 4/10/2019, 5:01 AM

There’s always a part where you can go to the bathroom. In IW you could’ve gone during the “Vision is made up of many things” speech by Banner.

Either way I’m anticipating this runtime. Just no way I won’t go to the bathroom at one point.

Typhoon20 - 4/10/2019, 5:02 AM

WHAT THE F ? Not going to the bathroom is impossible for me. I need to eat and drink while watching something. They go hand in hand. I'm [frick]ed. Im bringing kids as well even if i can hold it they cant. Not sure what to do. Infinity War had a break and it was perfect.

PicolasCage - 4/10/2019, 5:04 AM

@Typhoon20 - you don’t *need* to eat & drink. Or if you do, just start the eating/drinking halfway through the movie so it will end right as you need to go

Typobutcorrect - 4/10/2019, 5:03 AM

I guess I'll cease all beverage intake three hours before showtime.

giannis - 4/10/2019, 5:05 AM

Good to hear.

WakandanQueen - 4/10/2019, 5:11 AM

If you go right before the film starts, you'll be fine.

Bucht - 4/10/2019, 5:13 AM

For some reason we always have an intermission in Belgian theatres.
I absolutely hate it, they just cut it at a random place, sometimes not even between two scenes, have a 15 min. break and then when it restarts they show the last two minutes before they cut it again too.

Spock0Clock - 4/10/2019, 5:16 AM

@Bucht -

bkmeijer2 - 4/10/2019, 7:39 AM

@Bucht - Same here in the Netherlands. Sometimes its really annoying when its a movie of less than two hours, but with Endgame I don’t mind

Spock0Clock - 4/10/2019, 5:15 AM

...I'm not crying... I'm training my body to urinate out of my eyes.

OmegaDaGrodd - 4/10/2019, 5:15 AM

The hardest choices require the strongest wills....... which is why I'll stop hydrating 3 hours before my showing and bring in an empty bottle *just* in case

Whatever it takes

Adult diaper sales are gonna skyrocket when Endgame comes out.
