I say "some idea" because this press release doesn't include any official specs or anything, but does reference a few bonus features that will definitely be included. Some are fairly vague here, such as "a behind-the-scenes
look at the groundbreaking visual effects and stunning cinematography," but you will specifically be seeing a Soundgarden music video. More importantly, The Avengers will be the first Marvel movie accompanied by a gag reel, one which will surely bring Tumblr crashing down with the sheer number of GIFs it inspires.
Coming this fall, the third highest-grossing movie of all time and
the #1 movie in the world, “Marvel’s The Avengers” assembles as you’ve
never seen it before on Blu-ray 3D™, Blu-ray™, DVD, Digital and
On-Demand platforms on September 25, 2012. In anticipation of this
release, Marvel is also launching an all-new App in July - “The Avengers
Initiative: A Marvel Second Screen App” (available for the first time
on iPhone) – that gives fans unprecedented access to exclusive content
building up to the home entertainment release.
The announcement comes as “Marvel’s The Avengers” crossed the incredible
$600 million domestic box office threshold on June 26 – only the third
film in history to do so. It has now grossed an estimated $1.44 billion
globally.
Providing viewers with the ultimate in-home experience, the premium
4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack provides 5-unique ways to enjoy “Marvel’s The
Avengers” (on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy and Digital
Download of “Avengers Assembled” Music from and inspired by the film)
and brings to life the Super Hero team-up of a lifetime in a whole new
dimension on Blu-ray hi-def with stunning visual effects, superior sound
and unparalleled bonus content.
Extras include a gag reel, a first for a Marvel Studios film, the chance
to hear from the cast and Joss Whedon on their experiences in bringing
these larger than life characters to the big screen, a behind-the-scenes
look at the groundbreaking visual effects and stunning cinematography,
the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarrier, Soundgarden’s “Live to Rise”
Music Video, deleted scenes and more!
Also for the first time ever, fans will be able to enjoy even more of
the Marvel Universe via the all-new “The Avengers Initiative: A Marvel
Second Screen App.” By downloading this onto a secondary device,
consumers will be able to gain unprecedented access to exclusive content
building up to the home entertainment release on September 25. Pieces

becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, invitations to “special missions” either
