'Thor: Ragnarok' Blu-ray Release Special Features, Hella Hela, and More

Thor: Ragnarok was one of the most delightfully enjoyable entries in the MCU (my personal opinion), and at long last it's coming to physical media (you know, Ultra 4K, Blu-ray and DVD).

'Thor: Ragnarok' Blu-ray Release Special Features, Hella Hela, and More

Perhaps the most anticipated part of the release happens to be Taika Waititi's director's commentary – the pineapple romper-wearing Kiwi has already offered a few glimpses into BTS hilarity. There is also some pretty great concept art that eagle eyed fans will no doubt recognize from the various SDDC panels, and some featurettes featuring both Hela (Cate Blanchett) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson).

The Ultimate Cinematic Universe Edition (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) will contain a slew of bonus features including deleted scenes, a gag reel filled with outtakes, an exclusive short, and much much more.
