The release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in December has gone well for Sony Pictures as the film is close to a $200 million domestic take and has gotten a slew of accolades. The project is now making its way to home video as a February 26th, 2019 release digitally has been set while the physical media releases will land on March 19th, 2019 as DVD/BD and 4K versions are coming for it. What’s really impressive is that there’s close to 90-minutes of bonus materials coming, though sadly there are no director commentaries that would be really neat considering the folks involved and how this all comes together.
