‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ Hits Home Video In August As Disney’s First 4K Ultra HD Release
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2is still playing in theaters everywhere right now, and if you’re like me, you’ve taken advantage of that a few times by now. But soon, you won’t have to pay the high ticket prices to enjoy the Marvel Studios sequel over and over again.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Marvel Studios have announced thatGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2will arrive on home video in August. Furthermore, one of the formats will be 4K Ultra HD, marking the first time Disney has released one of their movies in that format. Find out more about theGuardians of the Galaxy 2home video release date below, including one goofy special feature that we can’t wait to see.
Here’s theGuardians of the Galaxy 2home video release date trailer straight from Marvel Entertainment:
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2will arrive first on Digital HD onAugust 8, and then two weeks later you’ll be able to get it on Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra HD onAugust 22. The latter might not seem like a big deal since it’s just the next step in high-definition home video formats, but since it’s the first time Disney is releasing a movie in that format, directorJames Gunnis pretty excited about it. Heposted as much on Facebook recently:
So if you’ve got a 4K Ultra HD player, then you’re going to be happy. If you don’t, maybe this will be the movie that convinces you to buy one.
No matter which format you getGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2on, you’re going to be happy with the purchase, if only because of one special feature that James Gunn recently revealed. Here’s what the director posted on Twitter this week:
That disco-style track “Guardians Inferno” from theGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2soundtrack featuring the sweet voice of Star-Lord’s fake fatherDavid Hasselhoffwill have a full music video on the home video release. Also, if you look carefully at the people standing behind David Hasselhoff, those are the cast members ofGuardians of the Galaxy 2in full disco gear (though it looks like Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel didn’t get in on the fun).
That’s the only special feature for the home video release that we know about right now, but we’ll undoubtedly know more as the release date gets closer.
