This is not the first time that Google has offered movies in 4K. The company had previously started to add 4K movies to its catalogue on Google Play dating back to 2016, where they also later started to upgrade movies bought in SD and HD to 4K for free. Google notes that these 4K offerings from Disney, Marvel, and Pixar are the first slate, and that they expect more to be added to their catalogue in the coming months.
Some of the movies that will be available for purchase in 4K include Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Coco, The Lion King (the animated version), Solo: A Star Wars Story, and A Wrinkle in Time. 4K movies will be priced at $25 on Google Play while HD movies will be priced at $20, so if you don’t have a 4K monitor or TV, then maybe the extra $5 isn’t worth paying for.
