A first for the Ant-Man franchise in the MCU is the length of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
But Ant-Man 3 defies convention in other ways as well.
With Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, and newcomer Kathyrn Newton playing Cassie Lang, Quantumania not only ushers in Phase 5 of the MCU but also Kang the Conqueror, the main antagonist of the Multiverse Saga.
It makes it natural that the film’s length would be novel for something so unique and high risks. Now that the duration of Quantumania has been officially confirmed, fans may plan accordingly.

How Long Is Quantumania in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
The runtime of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, according to Fandango, is 2 hours and 5 minutes, setting a new benchmark for the Ant-Man series.
The 2015 version of Ant-Man from Marvel Studios ran for 1 hour and 57 minutes, while Ant-Man and the Wasp was 1 hour and 58 minutes long.
This seems to be a pattern with MCU threequels, which tend to be lengthier than their prequels and sequels.
Iron Man 3’s runtime of 2 hours and 10 minutes surpassed that of Iron Man and Iron Man 2. As shown by Captain America: Civil War’s 2 hours and 27 minute running time, the Captain America movies did the same.
The same holds true for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War, all of which were longer than the prior movies in their respective franchises.
Here is a list of the latest MCU movies’ runtimes from 2022 for comparison:
2 hours and 6 minutes, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Time: 1 hour, 59 minutes for Thor: Love and Thunder
Wakanda Forever: Black Panther: 2 hours, 41 minutes
