Disney and Marvel today announced that Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is coming to digital sales platforms in about two weeks, with the movie dropping on July 7th, followed by a DVD and Blu-ray release on August 1. The acclaimed finale to James Gunn's Guardians series has been a theatrical hit since its release last month, and earlier this month, Gunn revealed that even he did not yet know when Disney was planning to release it. Widely regarded as one of Marvel's best movies since Avengers: Endgame, the movie has grossed over $800 million so far in its theatrical run.

The date gives Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 a two-month theatrical exclusivity window, which isn't huge, but is bigger than most of Marvel's post-pandemic releases. The studio seems to be trying to figure out a balance for getting movies out to fans before the next MCU installment, versus giving them enough time to thrive at the box office.

Here's a rundown of the movie's Blu-ray bonus features:
