Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (4K Ultra HD)

All right, we knew it was coming but now Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has just made it official: James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is officially coming to Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on 8/22, while the Digital HD release will happen on 8/8. Extras on the Blu-ray editions will include the 4-part The Making of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 documentary, audio commentary with director James Gunn, 4 deleted scenes, the Visionary Intro featurette, a Guardians Inferno music video with David Hasselhoff, and a Gag Reel. There will also be digital exclusive features, including 3 Scene Breakdowns and a Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! Disneyland ride preview. The 4K Ultra HD version will feature English Dolby Atmos. We are working to confirm that it will also feature Dolby Vision HDR. [Editor’s Note: Disney has confirmed to us that the 4K Ultra HD release will feature Dolby Vision HDR.] The Blu-ray versions will include English 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. [Read on here…]

Now then… it’s not mentioned in the press release, but Best Buy will offer a retail-exclusive version of the 4K Ultra HD packaged in a Steelbook case with a Blu-ray 3D version of the film. On a possibly not unrelated note, it’s worth mentioning that the title is showing as “currently unavailable” on Amazon.com, so it could be that Amazon intends to pull another one of its 800-lb gorilla leveraging efforts against Disney on this release. In any case, here’s what the 4K Ultra HD packaging looks like…
