Official answer
4,400
names
How to estimate it
Fermi’s official “Napkin math”
Marvel credits feel like they go on forever. Call it 10 minutes, which is 600 seconds. How many names fly past each second? The lists are packed into columns, so maybe 5.
- Credits
- ~10 min
- In seconds
- 600
- Names per second
- × 5
- 600 × 5
- ≈ 3,000
Rounded assumptions may give a slightly different estimate. The official answer above is the game’s reference value.
Source calculation & reference
- Name entries in a fan transcription of the on-screen end credits (JH Movie Collection Wiki), counted by script
- ≈ 4,498
- Stars, writers and producers listed twice (main titles and crawl)
- minus 79
- Different names
- ≈ 4,419
- Rounded
- ≈ 4,400 names
Reference cited by Fermi: Our own count of a fan transcription of the on-screen end credits (JH Movie Collection Wiki): 4,498 entries, 4,419 different names. No published count exists.
