Thor: Ragnarok Blu-ray & 4k Blu-ray Variations & Retailer Exclusives

Thor: Ragnarok releases to disc formats on March 6th, and along with the standard editions will also be available in several retailer exclusives. The film, starring Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum has grossed over $850M at the worldwide box office. It was previously released to digital on Feb. 20, but for those of you still dedicated to physical media here’s a look at those Blu-ray variations to help you choose which one to pick up on Tuesday.

Blu-ray “Multi-Screen Edition”
