‘Superman’ reportedly clocks in at 2 hours & 20 minutes—fans sarcastically call it a “snooze fest”

James Gunn's Superman is soaring in with a super overhaul - reportedly weighing in at 2 hours and 20 minutes. That's right, Superman isn't only quicker than a speeding bullet; he's also lingering long enough to provide you with a complete cinematic workout.

Fans are already speculating how much cape action, laser eyes, and emotional monologues can be crammed into that runtime - and honestly, we're here for all 140 super-powered minutes.

As soon as the news came out, someone (@eli_arredondo21) took to their X account and commented:

"What a snooze fest"

Following news of the 2-hour and 20-minute Superman runtime, someone on X wasn't shy to label it a snooze fest, as if James Gunn is filming a nap rather than a superhero blockbuster. Meanwhile, the rest of us are simply waiting for at least one mid-air punch per 10 minutes to keep our eyelids awake.

The instant Superman runtime hit the headlines, fans lost their minds like Kryptonians to sun.

Some were already excited to relish every moment of cape-waving action, others already began calculating snack time, and then there are the trolls who arrived to annoy the runtime just for fun.

Let us watch how the web is addressing 140 minutes of superhero action.

Netizens have reacted as ‘Superman’ reportedly clocks in at 2 hours & 20 minutes

Some made runtime news into a stand-up comedy act, tossing out jokes quicker than Superman is fast in the skies. Others were not concerned about facts - simply arrived to post just to stir up chaos and to get their keyboards a workout:

"Is this a joke," a user @bo086432 hilariously commented.

"Is that enough time for epic?" another user @resmihesabim sarcastically asked.

"Superman’s giving us over two hours of action, drama, and cape physics! Hope your snacks last, your seat is comfy, and your bladder is as strong as the Man of Steel!," a user @Jacqueline12__ sarcastically commented.

Others posted just to post, throwing in jokes out of context - just glad to be included in the din. For them, it was not about Superman or the length, just an opportunity to type, laugh, and log off:

"Two hours? Guess even Superman needs extra time to save the world… and squeeze in some dramatic slow-mo shots!" a netizen @Jacqueline12__ sarcastically expressed.

"Over 2 hours? Even Krypton didn’t last that long!" another user @Jacqueline12__ hilariously commented.

"Me when I go see Superman," a netizen @movienewssss commented with a hilarious GIF:

All you need to know about the Superman film (2025)

Superman is flying back to the cinema in an all-new reboot that sets off the retooling of James Gunn's new DC Universe.

Written and directed by Gunn himself, the film features David Corenswet as Clark Kent, our very own Superman, alongside a top-notch supporting cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.

This new interpretation isn't all about saving the world in spandex - it explores Superman's attempt to reconcile his alien heritage with his mortal, middle-American upbringing. Expect action, heart, and hopefully, fewer buildings getting smashed this time around—but no promises.

The Superman film (2025) will be released all over the United States on July 11, 2025.

With a new cape, a new face, and James Gunn in charge, this Superman reboot is set to leap into theaters in a single bound - hopefully without as many dad problems and with more laser eyes. One thing's for sure: the DC Universe is going to be a whole lot more super.
