One of my favorite films of last year was the eight film from Marvel Studios, ‘Thor: The Dark World‘. The film was a follow up of 2012’s film, ‘The Avengers’, as well as a follow up to the 2011 film, ‘Thor’. The film sees Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, and many more reprise their roles from the previously mentioned films, picking up after the events in New York City in ‘The Avengers’. This time, the film is directed by Alan Taylor (‘Game of Thrones’), who brings a much edgier, darker, but fun adventure to the screen.
I’ve been waiting for the movie to finally come to blu-ray, and now Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures have announced that ‘Thor: The Dark World’ is coming to blu-ray on February 25, 2014, in 2D and 3D discs. The disc is set to have deleted scenes, a gag reel, a first look at ‘The Captain America: The Winter Soldier’, and a brand new short film, ‘Marvel One Shot: All Hail the King’, which is rumored to follow up the events of ‘Iron Man 3’. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the movie and go through all the features. The new Marvel short film is the item that’s got my interest more than anything.
Are you excited to add ‘Thor: The Dark World’ into your movie collection? Let me know in the comments below, only here on Chip and Company! And check out the full press release below.
