2 hours and 38 minutes, but director Ridley Scott has stated he has a 'fantastic' extended cut of the movie that is around four and a half hours long. According to interviews from around August 2023, Ridley Scott hopes that Apple TV will show both cuts.

Since the director is Ridley Scott, who is renowned for most of his prominent films having alternate or extended cuts since the early days of his career, and since he has confirmed that there is an extended cut, yes.

Reportedly, it is around four and a half hours long, which would make it longer than the Snyder Cut of Justice League as well as the Martin Scorsese film coming out for Apple TV in 2023, 'Killers of the Flower Moon'.

Apple TV Plus has picked up the movie as an Original production meaning that it will be a streaming film on the Apple TV Plus website. However, it is possible that it will get a limited theatrical run.

It's hard to say. Most original productions for various streaming sites like Netflix and Hulu have not received physical releases whereas other sites like Amazon Prime Video and Paramount Plus have released some of their original content on disc and digital. At the time of this posting, Apple TV Plus has not released any of their Original streaming material in the form of physical disc on DVD or Blu-Ray.

That being said, there is an argument that streaming sites should release their Original materials on physical disc formats as it would help reach a wider audience.

But at the moment, the answer to this question is no, there will not be a physical release on disc format.

It's a common misconception that Napoleon Bonaparte was shorter than usual, due to contemporary British propaganda.

In reality, Napoleon was 5' 6" / 167.64 cm (contemporary French measurements claimed he was 5' 2" but at the time their inches were different from what we know today). The average height of men in France in 1810 was 5' 5" / 163.90 cm. This means he was slightly above average for the time. For reference, Joaquin Phoenix is 5' 8" / 172.72 cm with the 2023 average male height being 5' 9" / 175.26 cm.

The idea that he was short came from France's enemies' propaganda at the time, which literally and figuratively belittled him. Additionally, Napoleon was often seen with the Imperial Guard, who were chosen for their height and would be taller than average.

The Napoleon Complex, in which someone acts overly aggressive and/or domineering to overcome for their physical or social shortcomings, is derived from this misconception. There is little contemporary information to conclusively determine meaning to his actions, so psychological analysis that he was overcompensating for an inferiority complex is purely theoretical. The first psychologist to suggest he had a complex was Alfred Adler, who was born fifty years after Napoleon's death.
