Right after I came from my second viewing of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, I checked out Best Buy’s website to see if they were taking orders for the eventual release. To my excitement, they were and for a sexy steelbook version as. I’m a sucker for a steelbook case. In any event, I pucked down my cash and began the wait until the movie would be released onto Bluray and DVD. Which looks like will be sooner than expected.
Unless this is an error on Best Buy’s part, they recently updated my order. Instead of having no release date, they’re telling me that Avengers: Endgame releases on August 13th, 2019. So that’s an unexpected surprise. As for why I ordered this particular version, check out the image below and you’ll understand.
That’s one sexy case, with images of Tony Stark and Natasha Romanova, two of the original Avengers that were lost during the movie. It’s also a two-disc set, so I’m not sure what the extra disc is for. I’m assuming it will be full of things such as the making of the movie, featurettes and more.
Update: Now we have official confirmation and a trailer.
Included with the film are the following extras, which includes several deleted scenes. Not sure if these are the same scenes that are being added in the Avengers: Endgame re-release that arrives in theaters this weekend.
