Iron Man 3’s DVD/Blu-ray release date has been revealed for U.K. fans, which may also give us an idea of when the U.S. release date will be.

Normally we’ll see a film’s DVD/Blu-ray release date almost exactly five months after the film’s theatrical release. With Marvel’s The Avengers, it hit theaters in the U.K. on April 27, and the DVD came out on September 17.

The U.K actually received the film’s DVD/Blu-ray eight days earlier than the U.S. did with The Avengers, which saw the film hit shelves on September 25.

Now that Iron Man 3 is the next massively sought after DVD/Blu-ray, we’ve found out through an Iron Man 3 Blu-ray trailer that the official DVD/Blu-ray release date for the U.K is September 9.

Check out the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray trailer to see the official release date be revealed at the end:

What this means for U.S. fans is that the rumored August 27 release date was most likely a false rumor. Unless Disney/Marvel intend to release Iron Man 3’s DVD/Blu-ray a week earlier in the U.S., which we’re fairly certain they wouldn’t considering the history of their DVD release patterns.

But, as there was some controversy with The Avengers DVD/Blu-ray U.K. release last year, with it not including Joss Whedon’s commentary due to it coming out earlier and also censoring the scene where Loki stabs Agent Coulson with his scepter, they may have decided this year to release the film as close as possible all around the world.

This would have the film hitting U.S. stores on September 10, one day after the U.K.’s release date, which would land on the traditional U.S. DVD/Blu-ray release day of Tuesday.

If Marvel/Disney follow their previous DVD/Blu-ray distribution patterns though, which is quite possible, Iron Man 3 should have a U.S. DVD/Blu-ray release date of September 17, eight days after the U.K’s release date.

What we know for certain is that the official Iron Man 3 DVD/Blu-ray release date for the U.K. is September 9. Possible Iron Man 3 U.S. DVD/Blu-ray release dates are September 10 and September 17, with the latter being the most logical if we were to presume that Marvel/Disney follow their previous DVD/Blu-ray release patterns.

U.K fans, are you excited to finally know when Iron Man 3 will be released on DVD/Blu-ray? U.S. fans, are you feeling the pain of most likely having to wait an extra week again for Marvel’s latest blockbuster to come out on DVD/Blu-ray?
