'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' at 10: The Movie That Made (and Ruined) the MCU
The king comes home–to your home, specifically! After a record-breaking run in theaters, Black Panther is clawing its way onto storefronts digital and physical in the coming days. With the Marvel blockbuster arriving on home video, you’ll be able to watch the defining battle of Wakanda and it’s king T’Challa whenever you want. And if you’re one of the few people that missed Black Panther in the theater (BTW, it’s still in theaters!), you’ll soon be able to catch up and understand all those pop culture references.
Thanks to modern–but not as advanced as the stuff Shuri cooks up–technology, you’ll be able to watch Black Panther in a variety of ways. Which way is right for you? Let’s run through the options so you can come up with a battle plan!
When will Black Panther be released digitally?
Black Panther is available to purchase digitally in HD and 4k Ultra HD on May 8–so right now. That means if you buy your movies primarily through a VOD service like iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, or the like, you can buy it at full price right after you finish reading this informative article.
When will Black Panther be available to rent digitally?
If you don’t have the dough to drop to add the full-priced version to your digital library, you’ll be able to rent Black Panther on a variety of digital platforms (your iTunes, Amazon, and the like) at a fraction of the cost. Black Panther will be available to rent digitally on May 15, so set your alarms!
When will Black Panther be released on Blu-ray?
Black Panther will be released on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on May 15 in a number of different formats, some including digital copies of the film (remember that in case you know you’re eventually gonna buy a physical copy and are tempted to get the digital version a week early). If you are super into getting one of those Best Buy SteelBook editions, the Black Panther SteelBook will also arrive on May 15.
What special features will be included on the Blu-ray and digital copies?
Obviously there’s more than than just the film itself to get excited about. Black Panther’s home video release will include director’s commentary with Ryan Coogler, deleted scenes (including one at the United Nations, a tense talk between Okoye and W’Kabi, and more), outtakes, making-of featurettes (including a history of Wakanda, a spotlight on the women, an exploration of the origin of vibranium, and a celebration of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first decade), a roundtable discussion with the filmmakers, and a sneak peek at this summer’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
When will Black Panther be available on Netflix?
Netflix has a deal with Disney that grants the streaming service the rights to their movies. While a Netflix arrival date has not been officially revealed, we can make a guess going off of how long it took previous MCU movies to hit. Going off of that info, it’s possible that Black Panther will hit Netflix either in late September or early October, 2018.
