For the full specifications of the home video offering here is the press release.
I was able to review the Blu-Ray/Digital version of the release and found the bonus features to be a solid assortment giving you a look at several aspects of the film. The four featurettes come in at around 30 minutes total offering a nice length where they do not feel rushed. Each offers a different insight, there is no traditional making of type featurette though. The closest is a look at the scene Oner but even that only touches on the making of. The interviews with the all-star cameos were interesting and the set looked like a fun place to be. The primary bonus feature is the full length commentary which offers more insight and a lot of humor to go with the film.
Deadpool & Wolverine is solid home video release offering an assortment of bonus features. If you are a fan of commentaries or Ryan Reynolds you will find this a reason to add this release to your library. Your mileage/interest may vary more with the other offerings.
At this time no release date for Disney+ has been announced nor what will be included but based on past releases do not expect to see the bonus features available there.
