Disney has found an interesting way to get fans to buy an empty DVD case that doesn’t feature an actual physical disk.
Marvel Studios unveiled the brand new steelbooks for WandaVision. This is the very first time in history physical collections for an MCU Disney+ series will be released to the public, according to The Direct. However, there’s a catch. Fans will get lots of cool stuff, but no actual DVD.

The steelbooks for WandaVision include a full slip, an envelope folder, character cards and some postcards, per the outlet.
Fans hoping for content on a disc will be sorely disappointed, according to The Direct. It remains unclear if a digital download will be included, which will make it fall flat for many consumers that expected more.
Manta Lab designed the steelbooks, which reportedly feature a “full glossy” finish. The books showcase the stars of two shows, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany’s Vision. There will also be a sneak peek into the designs of Wanda and Vision in the Hex reality, according to The Direct.
