The Russo Brothers, renowned for their work with most of the smash hit Marvel movies such as Avengers: Endgame, have revealed that the estimated runtimes for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars may be 2.5 hours and 3 hours, respectively.

In that spirit, we've scoured the internet and listed below some of the funniest memes, jokes, and remarks. Some of these may be at the expense of the Russo Brothers, but they're sure to leave you laughing anyway. Have fun!

Fans react hilariously to The Russo Brothers' estimation of the upcoming Avengers movies:

Check out what one user jokingly suggested:

"With an intermission I hope."

While it remains to be seen if the comment proves to be true, enjoy what the rest of the internet is saying in the meantime:

"I feel like Secret Wars is gonna need a longer runtime or two parts," someone jokingly suggested.
"Amazing that filmmakers and studios alike (and many fans) think longer=better," another hilariously spewed.
"Marvel Cinematic Universe movies are now epic sagas where the real superhero is the guy who refuses to pee until after the post-credit end scenes," a fourth user humorously pointed out.

Obviously, the comments didn't end there, as this is the internet we're talking about, after all:

"You know what. I would be down for 4h atp," one user suggested.
"Please tell me, theres going to be an intermission," another jokingly begged.
"So basically either fast or just throw my whole bladder away. Got it," someone else on X quipped.
"Marvel really making sure we leave the theater with numb legs," one more pointed out.

Someone else jokingly suggested that 3 hours is nothing, and that the brothers should might as well make it 5 hours:

Another X user had the most hilarious comment, and somehow, an even funnier GIF to go with it:


It remains to be seen if the news about the runtime of the upcoming Avengers movies is true, but if it is, we have a while to start training our bladders to sit through it!
