You’ll Have To Buy The Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray To See Thor and Captain America Comic-Con Footage Dan Koelsch, August 2, 2010 Did you miss the Marvel Studios panel at Comic-Con? Did you also miss out on seeing the bootleg Thor compilation while it was up for a day? Would you still like to see the Captain America footage shown? Well, you’re in luck, as long as you are willing to plop down over $25. According to Comic Book Movie, all the Marvel Studios footage shown at Comic-Con will be found on the Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray, set to be released September 28th. This will include the extended five minute Thor trailer, the Captain America costume test, and a Cap scene with Hugo Weaving trying to get the cosmic cube. However, these clips will be hidden on the Blu-Ray, and you’ll have to unlock them from a “S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault”. There’s no word on whether the regular Iron Man 2 DVD will include the footage as well. What do you think about Marvel’s ploy? Will you buy Iron Man 2 just to see future Marvel film clips?
