Thor: Ragnarok Director Taika Waititi Reveals Surprising 100 min Runtime

The cut right now, I reckon its about 100 minutes. Its not gonna be a very, very long film. I think that stories are better when you leave them wanting more, and this film moves at a clip, its got stuff happening all the time. I think people are still gonna feel exhausted by the end, theyve been on this big journey and stuff, so I dont think we need the film to be three hours.

Give me a haircut if old.

Trojita · Jul 25, 2017

I trust Taika.

TheWorthyEdge · Jul 25, 2017

Best MCU movie yet?

In Taika we trust.

Velcro Fly · Jul 25, 2017

I like things that don't overstay their welcome, whether it is movies, video games, or books. I'm almost always okay with a movie being shorter as opposed to being too long and bloated.

Log4Girlz · Jul 25, 2017

Don't worry, he compensates with the hammer

Skinny Pete · Jul 25, 2017

A little shorter than I would like but yeah I believe in Taika.

Eidan · Jul 25, 2017

That's fine.

CopperPuppy · Jul 25, 2017

Everything I hear about this movie makes it sound better and better.

Glass Rebel · Jul 25, 2017

For the record, Hunt for the Wilderpeople was 101m.

Bobby Roberts · Jul 25, 2017

This movie is going to melt heads

I can't fucking wait

Inferno313 · Jul 25, 2017

Sounds great. Can't believe I'm so hyped for the new Thor movie, but Taika is an amazing filmmaker. What We Do In The Shadows is a modern comedy classic.

Sulik2 · Jul 25, 2017

The first thing I have heard about this movie that worries me. They have a ton of story threads and characters and are only going to cover it in 100 minutes? Hopefully that doesn't mean all our time with the villains or character moments are gone for the sake of a snappy pace.

Subpar Spatula · Jul 25, 2017

It's obvious Marvel has little faith so they're trying to do the least amount of damage to audiences.

Scorpion Soldier · Jul 25, 2017

Probably without credits, though knowing Taika he'll most likely nail the pacing. Superhero movies have been on a roll quality wise this year!

BobTheFork · Jul 25, 2017

Yeah, that removes the 20-25 minutes we DON'T need to spend with Stellan Sarsgård and the flunkie crew.

Anung · Jul 25, 2017

Good. All these 2 hour plus movies are busting my balls. A tightly paced Thor movie with minimal flab makes me way more excited.

Duxxy3 · Jul 25, 2017

That doesn't sound right.

It's obvious you're trolling. Try harder

brianmcdoogle · Jul 25, 2017

Good. These types of movies are usually far too long. Now maybe the third act won't have a boring fight that goes on and on.

BattleMonkey · Jul 25, 2017

Haven't seen a Marvel movie where I didn't feel like it was going on too long. This sounds better length for a movie

jmdajr · Jul 25, 2017

Fine by me. Our babysitter will be happy.

blame space · Jul 25, 2017

is that before or after both of the ten minute credits sequences and stingers?

SpaceWolf · Jul 25, 2017

I can't believe I'm actually excited for the sequel to Thor: Dark World.

Fancyarcher · Jul 25, 2017

I'm fine with that runtime. At least I trust Waititi to get it right.

The power of Taika man.

Shaanyboi · Jul 25, 2017

If it fits, it fits.

itwasTuesday · Jul 25, 2017

I'm trying to think of something clever to say sooo hard.

it is my most excited for movie though, in a while.

liquidtmd · Jul 25, 2017

Trailer 2 fucking sold me like no movie has in a while, so runtime is irrelevant

NandoGip · Jul 25, 2017

Damn, I want these things to last as long as possible

Beer Monkey · Jul 25, 2017

Cool, most of these movies are too long and have pacing issues.

All Mjölnir, no filler

itwasTuesday · Jul 25, 2017

Shortest runtime
Longest legs

BoogieWoogie · Jul 25, 2017

I'm good with it.

The Kree · Jul 25, 2017

It's gonna be tough to top The Dark World in less time. I hope they're up to the task.

GraveRobberX · Jul 25, 2017

Smart, no reason to prolong the story if it can be told in that much time
No filler or boring sequence to appease a good run time

Also movie theaters and the studio must be hella happy, can get in more screenings now

orochi91 · Jul 25, 2017

I'm skipping it then.

Ticket prices are pretty high here, and I want value for my money.

For a blockbuster film, ~1.5 hours simply isn't acceptable.

Jake2by4 · Jul 25, 2017

Damn Thor's movies have the shortest runtime of any MCU movie.

Toa TAK · Jul 25, 2017

If you guys haven't seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople or What We Do in the Shadows

You fucked up

blame space · Jul 25, 2017

🤔 equating a movie's length to it's value

Stairouais · Jul 25, 2017

Good. Most of superheroes movies are way too long.

Just don't leave your seat.

Master Yoshi · Jul 25, 2017

If this movie isn't good, it will be a Dark World.

JaseMath · Jul 25, 2017

Perfect length IMO

Oh my god please, please, please don't tell me you are serious. Please. Restore my faith in humanity.

That's an odd way to pre-judge a movie. I'd take a 90 minute powerhouse that keeps me riveted in my theater seat over a 2.5 hour slog any day.

You get your value as soon as you see the words "Directed by Taika Waititi"

ZeoVGM · Jul 25, 2017

Not really a good thing for me to hear. 100 minutes is too short, in my opinion.

(I think the final cut will be longer.)

Monocle · Jul 25, 2017

Ehh, sometimes more is better. It's hard to tell without seeing it but I prefer my films with some meat.

You can just rewatch LOTR: Return of the King Extended Edition. I think the ending is longer than the runtime for this movie.
