The record-breaking Black Panther is headed from theater to in-home release. The Marvel film starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, Letitia Wright and Andy Serkis, set records at the box-office, just recently passing James Cameron’s Titanic to become the third highest-grossing domestic movie of all-time, making $665.3 million as of last week. The hit film is coming to Digital May 8, and 4K Ultra, Blu-ray and DVD May 15, and will be sure to break some in-home release records especially with all of the bonus features the film has included with it. Check out the details below.
Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
