Now, a longer version of the film is being released. When the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD releases of the film come out on September 21, following an initial digital release on September 7, there will be two versions of the film shared.
The original cinema release will be one of these along with a seven minute longer cut called F9: The Director’s Cut. It will also come with over an hour of bonus material.
