According to the British Board of Film Classification, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" will clock in at 2 hours and 15 minutes, making it about 14 minutes longer than its predecessor. That puts the "Guardians" sequel in line with most mainstream action films, which generally flourish with runtimes as close as possible to 120 minutes.

The original "Guardians of the Galaxy" arrived in theaters on Aug. 1, 2014, seemingly coming out of nowhere to break box office records on its way to a $773.3 million worldwide haul. The sequel is on track for a $150 million opening weekend in North America, and could even surpass "Captain America: Civil War's" $179 million debut.
