‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Blu-Ray, Digital Release Dates And Special Features Revealed
“Avengers: Infinity War” is still playing in many theaters, but soon, the epic Marvel movie will be available to watch from your couch. Blu-Ray/DVD and digital release dates have been revealed, and the special features are just as exciting as the film itself.
The digital release date is July 31, and those who download “Avengers: Infinity War” will be treated to an exclusive roundtable with Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) directors. Anthony and Joe Russo (“Infinity War,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), Joss Whedon (“Avengers”), James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), Ryan Coogler (“Black Panther”), Peyton Reed (“Ant-Man”) and Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok”) sit down for a half-hour discussion.
Digital consumers will also get the same special features that are on the Blu-ray, which will be released Aug. 14. Several featurettes will explore the characters’ relationships and Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) history as well as in-depth looks at the battles on Titan and in Wakanda. Of course, the bonus content also includes the standards: deleted scenes, a gag reel and commentary from filmmakers.
Unfortunately, though there are many special features, none of them will reveal the much-speculated about title for “Avengers 4,” which is due in theaters in May 2019. While previous home releases have teased what’s to come in the MCU, it looks like the “Avengers: Infinity War” special features will avoid any spoilers for the fourth film or the upcoming “Captain Marvel.”
