The movie is directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, who helmed Avengers: Endgame. The script was written by Michael Waldron, creator of Loki, and Stephen McFeely, who worked on Agent Carter.

Runtime and comparison with other films

Avengers: Doctor Doom runs approximately two hours and forty‑five minutes, according to ticket‑sale sites. It is the second‑longest major MCU crossover, trailing only Avengers: Endgame, which exceeds three hours.

Mysteries surrounding Hulk's presence

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have hinted at uncertainty regarding Bruce Banner (the Hulk) appearing in the film. In additional scenes from Endgame Encore, Doom confronts Banner, but the brothers say they will neither confirm nor deny the character’s involvement, suggesting he could play a significant role in the story.
