20th Century Fox’s seven-time Oscar-nominated film The Martian will release to an Extended Edition on Digital HD, DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on Tuesday, June 7th. The Extended Edition includes 10 minutes of new footage not seen in theaters, as well as over two hours of behind-the-scenes content. Both the Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray editions include a Digital HD copy of the film, although we’re not sure if the digital copy will be available or upgradeable to Digital UHD (4k).
New bonus content features audio commentary from director Ridley Scott, writer/executive producer Drew Goddard, and novelist Andy Weir. A documentary titled “The Long Way Home: Making the Martian” explores the science behind recreating Mars is included. And, the Extended Edition includes interviews with NASA specialists and engineers, and a NASA panel discussion about the planned journey to mars.
The new Ultra HD Blu-ray edition features video encoded in H.265 at 2160p resolution. English audio tracks are available in DTS-HD-Master Audio 7.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1. And, both Blu-ray editions include the theatrical cut of the film.

Hi. I’m not sure what you are asking. It looks like both the extended and theatrical versions will be available in these editions.
Extended addition/version not on the 4K disc!?! I loved watching this movie in 4K!! Why should I have to decide between formats to watch the extended version. Very disappointed in this release. Will be returning mine (unopened).
