In a major surprise announcement, the Walt Disney Company today has confirmed that a number of popular Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm series are coming to 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
The first two seasons of “The Mandalorian,” the first season of “Loki,” and the entire “WandaVision” limited series are all making the jump to disc – they are the first Disney+ original series to come to Blu-ray and 4K UHD physical media.
The titles will come with Collector’s Edition steelbook packaging, concept art cards and never-before-seen bonus features, including deleted scenes, gag reels, featurettes and more. Should they be a success, it will likely lead to Disney+ doing more.
It also marks a welcome change in attitude for Disney which has shied away from physical 4K UHD releases in recent years. The studio also made headlines recently for giving up on physical disc releases in Australia after the third “Guardians” film.
“Loki: Season 1” will arrive September 26th, “WandaVision” hits November 28th, and both seasons of “The Mandalorian” arrive December 12th. All four titles will be available to pre-order from August 28th.
All four releases will be in HDR10, not Dolby Vision, and will use 100Gb discs.
