Since the credits rolled on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters, I’ve been eager to get my hands on the blu-ray release so I can pour over it again and again in the comfort of my own home. Today, we have some official information on when that will happen. August 22, 2017 is when the latest Marvel film will arrive on DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K (but will arrive digitally August 8th if you can’t wait).
This marks the first ever release from Disney in the latest high-resolution format, which could signal the floodgates are about to open at the house of Mouse for all upcoming releases…which would include Star Wars. If you haven’t upgraded, perhaps the gorgeous visuals of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be the reason for you to convert:
This August, Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” the blockbuster sequel featuring the world’s favorite band of intergalactic misfits, blasts into homes digitally in HD, 4K Ultra HD™ and Disney Movies Anywhere on Aug. 8 and physically on 4K Ultra HD,™ Blu-ray and DVD on Aug. 22.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” marks the Studios first in-home title to release in stunning 4K Ultra HD format, providing consumers with the ultimate home entertainment experience with next-generation high dynamic range visuals and Dolby Atmos immersive audio. 4K Ultra HD provides four times sharper resolution of HD with exceptional HDR which produces brighter brights, deeper blacks and richer colors than ever before. The galaxy has never looked so good!
Delivering the ultimate in-home experience is the Ultimate Cinematic Universe Edition (which includes a collectible poster while supplies last) comes packaged to include a 4K Ultra HD version of the film, a Blu-ray, a Digital Copy and more than 80-minutes of exclusive, never-before-seen bonus materials. Bonus will take fans behind the scenes with the movie’s diverse, dynamic cast of misfits and inspired team of filmmakers, debut an all-new original music video starring David Hasselhoff and special guests, hilarious outtakes, deleted scenes, audio commentary by director James Gunn, and more.
