The Marvels Arrives on Digital, Physical Media Still To Come

The Marvels is now available for fans to purchase on Digital with the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD releases coming on February 13. What I wrote for the theatrical release in November: After a number of films and series led to franchise fatigue for Marvel’s audience, The Marvels have managed to save the MCU.
