Ladies and gentlemen, cue up your arc reactors. Paramount has announced a street date and details for the DVD and Blu-ray release of one of the year's highest-grossing blockbusters, "Iron Man 2." The film, which took in over $300 million at the box office, is coming to store shelves on September 28, armed with a bounty of special features — but mostly if you pick-up the high-def version.
"Iron Man 2" will drop as two editions: a standalone two-disc DVD, or a three-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. While each contain duplicate special features in terms of audio commentary by Jon Favreau, deleted scenes and a couple featurettes, far more bonus content is available on the three-disc package.
Those who have a Blu-Ray player will enjoy a host of behind-the-scenes videos, cast and crew interviews, origin stories of key characters, additional deleted scenes and a ton more. Check out the full rundown of the special features after the jump.
