James Cameron’s first “Avatar: The Way of Water” is set to boast a suitably epic runtime.
The first of four planned “Avatar” sequels is reportedly set to clock in at 190 minutes long (three hours and ten minues). Just shy of half an hour longer than the 161 minute original, and just four minutes shorter than Cameron’s own 194 minute long “Titanic”.
It continues a trend for tentpoles this year with the upcoming “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” clocking in at 161 minutes and Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon” coming in nearly the same length as “Avatar” at 188 minutes.
Whilst Disney hasn’t released an official runtime as yet, the length of it came up when the film received its official PG-13 rating and exhibitors started inadvertently listed the running time on their websites.
“Avatar: The Way of Water opens” in North America on December 16th with the film scoring a global rollout that weekend.
