It’s the end of an era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one that you can relive over and over again with the upcoming Blu-ray release of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Ahead of its arrival on Blu-ray soon, preorders for the 4K Ultra HD presentation of the film are now available, and if you pick the movie up at Best Buy, you’ll score an exclusive steelbook case to house the final adventure starring Marvel’s favorite misfits.
$39
Like a lot of other Blu-ray releases, the steelbook edition of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is exclusive to Best Buy. If you’re interested, you may want to order as soon as possible. But if you don’t care about the steelbook case, you can save some cash by opting for the $34 standard 4K Blu-ray edition or the regular Blu-ray for $28. The 4K editions also come with a regular Blu-ray disc, and all Blu-ray editions include a digital copy of the film.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comes with a small galaxy’s worth of extras. In addition to director’s commentary from Gunn, there’ll be two behind-the-scenes featurettes included with the film. The Imperfect Perfect Family examines the evolution of the Guardians from the viewpoint of the cast and crew, and Creating Rocket Raccoon is a deep dive into how the surly Guardian was brought to life.
There’s also a substantial number of deleted scenes, that fleshes out the story with additional content. The full list includes:
- A Bit Much — Adam Warlock explains to Ayesha what he plans to do with the Guardians.
- A Lending Hand — Peter lends a hand to an injured humanimal on Counter-Earth and shows he means no harm.
- Drax’s Analogies and Metaphors — Drax gives Peter some interesting life analogies and metaphors.
- The Perfect Society — The High Evolutionary reveals his mission to perfect the universe.
- The Search for 89P13 — Behemoth brings not-so-good news to The High Evolutionary.
- Annoyed Peter –Peter gets annoyed while altering the shield.
- A Burning Escape — Peter runs back to grab his music player before escaping a blazing inferno on the Arete.
- Knowhere After the Battle — The High Evolutionary is brought back to Knowhere and locked up while Kraglin recruits Adam Warlock.
Lastly, the collection wouldn’t be complete without a gag reel. If you’re a fan of flubbed lines, improv gone wrong, and the cast just having a good laugh while shooting a sci-fi epic, then this extra content will put a smile on your face.
“It’s an extremely polished and well-made movie that’s as colorful and as much of a feast for the eyes as the previous two films, with some mind-blowingly awesome action sequences to boot, but it doesn’t add up to anything more than that,” Phil Owen write in GameSpot’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 review. “After 15 years of this franchise, that’s pretty frustrating. But it’s so well put together, fortunately, that you should have a good time anyway.”
