Should Talos be added? With his appearance in Captain Marvel plus Far from Home he would be just over 20 minutes. Of course, it depends on whether you count the appearance of a shapeshifter as the actual character or the character they're imitating. Either way works, but I figured I should at least mention it. :)

but... retroactively it may be? Sony and Disney seem to be getting more and more comfortable working with each other now, after a brief disagreement that almost ended the partnership, but now it appears as though Holland's Spider-Man will be showing up in future Venom movies, and Keaton's Vulture has a role in the upcoming Morbius movie, so the two universes may become increasingly interconnected moving forward.

as predicted... things are getting weirder. The post-credit scene in Venom 2 has officially crossed the character over into the MCU, in some form. I think by this December it's going to be tough figuring out what technically is or is not canonically in the "MCU"- but probably it will end up sort of like the Marvel comics multiverse where there are some stories that take place on "Earth-616" - the main Marvel comics timeline and universe - and many other stories that take place on different Earths, in different timelines or realities of the multiverse.

So anyway, the end of Venom 2 also in a way confirmed that the first Venom movie did NOT take place in the same world as the main MCU timeline, but going forward that might not be the case.

His screen time is nowhere near the requisite 20 minutes because each appearance was limited to only a few seconds. Even if his cameos in non-MCU Marvel movies, and even some other random ones like Mallrats and Princess Diaries 2 were counted, he would still come up short.

Level 68
May 18, 2021
Was Iron Man always the main Marvel character, or does his outsized role in the movies owe mainly to the fact that the first movie was such a hit and Robert Downey, Jr. is so popular playing him? I remember him when I was young, but I don't recall him being the leader or the signature hero. I always thought that was Captain America.
+2
Level 79
May 18, 2021
The latter. The Avengers don't really have a leader. Cap would be the closest thing to fitting that role. But Iron Man was always more of the face of the organization and franchise. This was due undoubtedly to the facts that the character and RDJ's portrayal of him both became extremely popular, that Iron Man was the first film in the MCU (and Iron Man 2 was the 3rd), and that since Tony was the first and most popular Avenger to show up on screen in the MCU he naturally ended up featuring in a bunch of different movies and wound up with the most total screen time.

Though it is surprising to me even considering all of the above just how much more he got than everyone else. A full 112 minutes more than the 1st-runner-up. Even including the 2 multi-part miniseries that several other characters had on Disney +, which didn't feature Tony at all.

Give it another 10 years and maybe Spider-Man or Thor will catch up.

Maybe add updates for Shang-Chi now. But I would say don't do updates for What if unless you want to include Uatu. Shang-Chi, Katy, Wenwu and Xialing will probably all be added but maybe more. Maybe Trevor Slattery or Jiang nan. And of course you would have to up Wong, Hulk and Captain Marvel's times as well. Abomination might be added too. idk tho. Good quiz btw!

Abomination was on-screen in Shang Chi for all of maybe 10 or 15 seconds.

Nov 24, 2021
Is Abomination really below 20 minutes? I haven't seen The Incredible Hulk in a while, but I know he is in Shang-Chi for a little bit. That was mostly a cameo, but still. Also is Wong not on the list? He was in Doctor Strange, and the end credit scene of Shang-Chi. Really good quiz!
+1

Jan 9, 2022
If anyone's curious, I believe that adding the "What if...?" character times would add four characters: Ultron (32), Okoye (22:30), Red Skull/Stonekeeper (20:30), and Sharon Carter (20). Not saying whether they should be added or not, just thought it would be interesting to look at the times. :)

Is this intended to only include MCU movies and not TV series? The list in the link includes TV series, and if those are included, Vision has over 100 minutes, as do a number of other characters.

Jan 5, 2023
I don't think it counts TV shows. For example, Hawkeye apparently has 95 minutes of screen time from his TV show alone based on the source but only 51 here. I was also surprised that Miss Marvel wasn't here. It's only to only focus on the movies since the TV shows are more complicated and less popular, but I also feel like a caveat explaining that this quiz is only movie-based would be appreciated.

I don't want to say that these numbers are not accurate.

But they seem highly suspect.

I don't see how Sersi, Shang-Chi, and Yelena made the list.

Just off the top of my head War Machine/Rhodes, Happy, MJ, Groot, Nebula, and Vision had much more screen time.

Also, I don't see how Spider-Man is above Captain America and Thor.

Sorry - I gotta give this quiz one star.

Jan 7, 2023
Was Vision not able to edge out Sersi or Yelena with his leading role in WandaVision? Or did you decide to take out the Disney + shows when you last updated this?

edit: just checked your source and he was on screen for 80 minutes just in that series, so... either you missed that or decided to not count the shows. I noticed you also cut down the number of answers by about half, and a ton of comments have gone missing, so clearly there was an overhaul. I know the shows were factored in here before.

+2
Level 99
Jan 10, 2023
I had the shows on in my most recent update a few months back but this one I assume was done by quizmaster since I hadn't submitted a new one in a while and never personally changed the time from 20 to 35 minutes. Makes sense though because it had gotten very unwieldy and the list would be entirely overtaken by characters from the shows at this point if they were included.

You can check the source, but it does seem that it may not be counting television shows. In that case, it should probably say "movies only."

Jan 10, 2023
That list you are using is from 2017, but the bulk of MCU television has come out since then. There is no way Vision (for example) did not make the cut after being the star of his own TV show in 2021.

Level 72
Jan 10, 2023
OK, so I went back and re-looked at that list, and it was updated 5 months ago. However, it seems that this quiz was not, seeing as Hawkeye now has 95 minutes from his show that have not been added to his count.

You might want to put a note that it exlucdes the TV shows. At least a few of them are canonical and part of the MCU, and are on the list that you linked putting characters like Vision, Agatha, Sylvie, Monica Rambeau, Kate Bishop, and Moon Knight on the board as well as bolstering the times of Wanda, Loki, orginal Hawkeye, and more.

I'm sure there might be some way to work around how significant of an impact the TV times have since they run for so much longer, maybe cutting the times in half?

I do see there hasn't been an update for more than 2 years, maybe I can make my own take on this
