Marvel Studios has officially announced that Thunderbolts*, aka The New Avengers, is set to debut in Digital devices on July 1, before hitting shelves on Blu-ray/DVD from July 29.
We also have a new trailer for the movie, and even though the studio is still keeping Lewis Pullman's Sentry under wraps for some reason (we've seen enough concept art at this stage), the teaser does include shots from the final scene with Val announcing the team as the New Avengers during a press conference.
Speaking of which, it seems the movie is now being referred to as "Thunderbolts*: *The New Avengers" for home release marketing purposes.
Despite a positive reception from critics and fans, Thunderbolts* ended up underperforming at the box office, taking in $380 million worldwide on a reported production budget of $180 million. Analysts believe the movie would have needed to take in at least $400 million to break even, which is obviously not the result Marvel/Disney will have been hoping for.
The Blu-ray will include the usual bonus features, such as deleted scenes, a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and commentary by director Jake Schreier.
