20th Century Fox has officially announced that the summer superhero flick X-Men: First Class will hit Blu-ray on September 9th (a Friday release). The Blu-ray will give consumers a choice between two covers, one featuring Charles Xavier and his young mutant students and the other featuring Magneto and Sebastian Shaw's followers.

X-Men: First Class hit theaters last month to positive reviews. The reboot centers on a young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) as they organize a team of mutants to stop Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) from instigating the Cuban Missile Crisis. January Jones, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Bryne, Jennifer Lawrence and Oliver Platt also star.

To promote the film, Fox will be giving away Xavier and Magneto t-shirts to the first 1,000 fans to pre-order the DVD or Blu-ray during this week's Comic-Con (July 21-24). This method will get you the film at the reduced price of $25 for the Blu-ray and $18 for the DVD. This can be done at booth #4313 or online at FoxConnect.com.


In addition to special features included on the disc, Fox will also include ten X-Men digital comics. The comics feature an all new backstory, and will be redeemable with unique codes in the packaging. The complete list of special features includes:
  • Children of the Atom: An eight-part behind-the-scenes featurette charting the film from pre-production through post-production, including visual effects techniques and cataloguing "X-Men" transformations through prosthetic make up and costume design.
  • Cerebro Mutant Tracker: An interactive Mutant Database with interactive videos giving fans the ability to learn about their favorite mutants in the X-Men film franchise.
  • "X" Marks the Spot: An interactive feature allowing viewers the opportunity to learn more about specific scenes with talent interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
  • Extended and Deleted Scenes
  • BD-Live Portal with additional Cerebro Mutant Tracker profiles
  • Composer's Isolated Score
  • Theatrical Trailer
X-Men: First Class will hit retailers on September 9th with a SRP of $39.99. Pre-orders are now available on Amazon.
