20th Century Fox has set an official release date for the upcoming home video release of Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. Plus, we have details on the special features and more! Come take a look!
Even though 20th Century Fox's second superhero entry of the year, the gargantuan X-Men: Apocalypse, didn't manage to attain the same level of success as its predecessor, the critically acclaimed X-Men: Days of the Future Past, it has had a pretty solid run at the worldwide box office, amassing to date over $533 million globally, which makes it the third highest grossing X-Men movie of all-time and eighth highest grossing movie of 2016.
Entertainment Weekly has obtained details on its upcoming home video release. The film will arrive on Digital HD on September 9 followed by a release on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD nearly a month later on October 4.
The Blu-ray special features will include deleted and extended scenes (with optional introductions from director Bryan Singer), a gag reel, a wrap party video, audio commentary by Singer and screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg, an extensive behind-the-scenes documentary, and an exclusive photo gallery.
Plus, here are eight never-before-seen stills along with a limited-edition Dazzler cover that fans who pre-order the film at Fox's booth at San Diego Comic-Con next weekend will receive:

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
