THUNDERBOLTS* Gag Reel Sees Cast Getting Silly and Making Many Funny Noises—Exclusive Look
Thunderbolts* marked a return to form for the MCU. The franchise's newest super squad came together in an exciting, emotional story. This unlikely union of rejects, failures, has-beens, and never-weres made for a touching and thoughtful tale of found family, purpose, and redemption. Plus it was also really freaking funny. And that was just as true off-screen as it was on. Nerdist has your exclusive first look at Thunderbolts* gag reel from the film's upcoming home release. It's so delightful that even Yelena Belova would laugh at it. Are you not already 100% positive Florence Pugh is one of the most charming people on the planet? What! Why? Actually, don't answer, because this Thunderbolts* gag reel will be all the proof you need to know she is. She's the star of this very funny montage of on-set mistakes, mishaps, misquotes, and minor injuries. There's also a big missed cartwheel into an open elevator. Yet somehow that's not even the only elevator failure in this fun video. Turns out it's hard to make a big dramatic exit when an elevator door won't shut. The flip side is that it's easy to turn that moment into a big laugh for cast and crew alike. This Thunderbolts* gag reel is just one of the many bonus features MCU fans will find when the film makes its debut at both digital shops on July 1 before releasing on Blu-ray on July 29. Other extras include deleted scenes, a director's audio commentary from Jake Schreier, and a bevy of featurettes about the making of the film. We'll never know for sure how many takes got interrupted by an elevator-related issue, but if more of them exist, we hope Marvel Studios saves them for the film's tenth anniversary re-release. We loved Thunderbolts*, which really was a return to form for the MCU. But whether a movie was great or not, gag reels never disappoint. And this Thunderbolts* gag reel is certainly worthy of the new Avengers. RELATED ARTICLE Florence Pugh Fought MCU Lawyers to Jump Off World's Second Tallest Building in THUNDERBOLTS*

The Criterion Collection has announced six new titles to join the collection on 4K UHD and Blu-Ray in September: High and Low (1963), This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Born in Flames (1983), Flow (2024), Read My Lips (2001), and The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005). These represent Akira Kurosawa's highly influential police procedural, a legendary mock rockumentary, a DIY fantasia of female rebellion, an Academy Award–winning animated international sensation, and two tour-de-force thrillers from modern French master Jacques Audiard. These titles join the previously announced Wes Anderson 4K UHD Collection, along with the individual releases of Isle of Dogs and The French Dispatch. Details on these films can be found below: Street Date: September 9, 2025 Synopsis: Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and Low, the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain's detective novel King's Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on class and contemporary Japanese society. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, with 4.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Audio commentary featuring Akira Kurosawa scholar Stephen Prince Documentary on the making of High and Low, created as part of the Toho Masterworks series Akira Kurosawa: It Is Wonderful to Create Interviews with actors Toshiro Mifune and Tsutomu Yamazaki Trailers and teaser PLUS: An essay by critic Geoffrey O'Brien and an on-set account by Japanese-film scholar Donald Richie Street Date: September 16, 2025 Synopsis: Spinal Tap has come to be recognized as England's loudest and most punctual band. In the legendary rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, now beautifully restored, Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) embark on their final American tour, with filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) capturing all the mishaps, creative tensions, dwindling crowds, and ill-fated drummers. This Is Spinal Tap takes DiBergi's brilliant vérité style and turns it up to eleven! DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Rob Reiner, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack Alternate 2.0 uncompressed stereo soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special features Three audio commentaries: one with actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer; one with Reiner, producer Karen Murphy, and editors Robert Leighton and Kent Beyda; and one with band members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls New conversation between Reiner and actor Patton Oswalt The Cutting Room Floor, featuring outtakes, alternate takes, and abandoned subplots Spinal Tap: The Final Tour (1982) Trailers, promotional spots, media appearances, music videos, and commercials English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by critic Alex Pappademas Street Date: September 16, 2025 Synopsis: A blistering rallying cry issued loud, clear, and unapologetically queer, Lizzie Borden's explosive postpunk provocation is a DIY fantasia of female rebellion set in America ten years after a revolution that supposedly transformed the country into a democratic socialist utopia. In reality, racism, sexism, and economic inequality are as virulent as ever, and a band of radicals—led by Black, lesbian, and working-class women—join forces to fight back. Told through a furiously fractured, kinetically edited flurry of television news broadcasts, pirate radio transmissions, agitprop, and protests shot guerrilla-style on the streets of New York City, Born in Flames is a shock wave of feminist futurism that's both an essential document of its time and radically ahead of it. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 2K digital restoration—preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with restoration funding from the Golden Globe Foundation and The Film Foundation, and supervised and approved by director Lizzie Borden—with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Introduction by Borden New audio commentary featuring Borden; cast members Adele Bertei, Hillary Hurst, Sheila McLaughlin, Pat Murphy, Marty Pottenger, and Jeanne Satterfield; and camerapeople DeeDee Halleck and Chris Hegedus Regrouping (1976), Borden's directorial debut, an experimental documentary about a New York City women's group English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: Essays by film scholar Yasmina Price and author So Mayer See also 'In The Lost Lands' Gets Digital Release Date After Box Office Struggles Street Date: September 23, 2025 Synopsis: A thrilling tale of friendship and survival that took indie animation to ecstatic new heights of ambition and imagination, this Academy Award–winning international sensation follows a courageous cat after its home is devastated by a great flood. As the cat teams up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, the crew must rely on trust, courage, and their wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. Working with a small team using open-source software, visionary DIY animator Gints Zilbalodis conjures a sublime sensory odyssey and a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of community. DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital transfer, with 7.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, approved by director Gints Zilbalodis 4K digital master of Away (2019), Zilbalodis's debut feature One 4K UHD disc of Flow and Away and two Blu-rays with Flow, Away, and the special features New audio commentary featuring Zilbalodis Full feature-length animatic New interviews with Zilbalodis and cowriter-coproducer Matīss Kaža Dream Cat (2025), a making-of documentary produced for Latvian Television Aqua (2012) and Priorities (2014), short films by Zilbalodis with new commentaries by the director Unused-shot reel, with new commentary by Zilbalodis Trailers, TV spots, and proof-of-concept teasers English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio PLUS: An essay by critic Nicolas Rapold and collectible stickers Street Date: September 23, 2025 Synopsis: Two outcasts are drawn together by crime and passion in this early tour de force from director Jacques Audiard. Carla (Emmanuelle Devos, who won a César Award for her performance) is an unappreciated, hard-of-hearing employee at a nondescript construction company. Her lonely life gets a jolt of excitement when she hires a new assistant: Paul (Vincent Cassel), an ex-con who soon enlists her (and her lip-reading ability) in a risky scheme. With visceral camera work and sound design, Audiard immerses viewers in the duo's increasingly turbulent world, blending noir conventions with complex character development for a thriller of unique depth and emotion.

Can music offer salvation from a life of sin? Winner of eight César Awards, including Best Film, this bold reimagining of the New Hollywood cult classic Fingers showcases Audiard's gift for balancing breathtaking tension with galvanic human drama.

The Best New Blu-ray and 4K Releases in June 2025
Physical media culture is alive and thriving thanks to the home video tastemakers hailing everywhere from The Criterion Collection to Kino Lorber and the Warner Archive Collection. Each month, IndieWire highlights the best recent and upcoming Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K releases for cinephiles to own now — and to bring ballast and permanence to your moviegoing at a time when streaming windows on classic movies close just as soon as they open. The summer movie season is upon us, with 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' smashing records and luring audiences back to theaters for blockbuster spectacle and family-friendly fare. As the weather improves, you may not feel like going out to a movie or staying at home to watch one, and after a dreary East Coast winter and spring, you wouldn't be faulted for preferring to get out and smell the roses rather than stare at a screen. But with this June's top new Blu-ray and 4K releases, hopefully, you're doing more than staring at a screen: You're hopefully being absorbed into a cinematic world that asks more of you than passive viewing. More from IndieWire Best Buy Is Out of the DVD and Blu-ray Business, and Now So Is Disney The Best DVD Commentaries on Filmmaking Best TV & Movie Box Sets: Criterion Collection, TV Classics, and More As we do every month, IndieWire here highlights our eight best recommended physical media releases to add to your collection, and there's something here to appeal to all quadrants of the audience. Sidney Lumet's Black-centered musical 'Wizard of Oz' reimagining 'The Wiz,' Paul Schrader's kaleidoscopic literary biopic 'Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters' (IndieWire's #2 best film of the 1980s), and William Friedkin's epic 'The Wages of Fear' remake 'Sorcerer' are among the new Criterion Collection titles hitting shelves this month. But we also round up classic releases from Kino Lorber, Warner Archive, and more, as well as a long-awaited (OK, long awaited by this writer anyway) Blu-ray release of Julia Leigh's fairytale-turned-sex-work-nightmare 'Sleeping Beauty' from IFC Films. These and more in IndieWire's lineup of the best eight new 4Ks and Blu-rays coming to retailers this month.
