Iron Man 2 may be a bit too scattered to be the sleek, character-driven entertainment that its predecessor was, but it’s still one of the best films of the summer and its audience will be eagerly awaiting its video release on September 28, 2010.
IM2 will be released in Blu-ray, Blu-ray Combo-Pack, 2-disc and single-disc DVD formats. Details on features content follow the jump.
