Subscribe to our newsletter April has arrived, and that means a whole new group of 4K Blu-ray releases, and its looking like a real mix! Here at TechRadar, we not only use 4K
Blu-ray to test the best TVs and best soundbars , but were collectors ourselves. Some of these very discs may find their way onto our shelves!

While it looks like there are tons of great discs coming in April, Ive selected a few highlights that Im hoping to feature in the Blu-ray Bounty , our monthly column where we test the latest 4K Blu-ray releases that we think will show off your home theater system: be that picture, audio, or hopefully, both! In my March most anticipated 4K Blu-ray article , I picked 3: 10 To
Yuma (1957) , Wicked: For Good , The Breakfast Club , The Man Who Wasnt
There, and Ben-Hur . I got to test four of the five in the March 2026 Blu-ray Bounty, and they looked great. Ben-Hur was delayed in the UK until April
26th, so expect it in this months Blu-ray Bounty! Article continues below You may like Here are my 4 most anticipated 4K Blu-rays of February 2026 Here are my 5 most anticipated 4K Blu-rays of March 2026 Here are my 4 most

Below, Ive picked four of my most anticipated discs for April 2026. As Im based in the UK, these are based on UK 4K releases, so dont be surprised if your favorite is missing! 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (Sony Pictures) 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE - Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube Watch On A direct sequel to 28 Years Later (the third movie in the 28 Days Later franchise), 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple picks up where its predecessor left off. Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) makes a groundbreaking discovery, while Spike (Alfie Williams) is indoctrinated into a cult led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (Jack OConnell).

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has plenty of visually striking scenes, with strong contrast and bright, burning fires, that are sure to look great in 4K, especially with Dolby Vision HDR support. Im expecting a clean, modern 4K presentation akin to other titles Ive tested, such as Predator: Badlands .

An action-packed horror like this relies on its sound design, so its great news that the 4K disc for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple comes with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack in tow. This will be great for delivering every visceral fight sequence, heart-pounding, eerie scene, and even the moments of calm in nature.

Directed by Josh Safdie (of the Safdie Brothers, who directed Good
Time and Uncut Gems ), Marty Supreme was nominated for several Academy Awards in 2026.

The Safdie Brothers are often known for making excellent-looking movies, as anyone who has seen Good Time and Uncut Gems will attest, and Marty Supreme
is no different. The 1950s aesthetic, both colorful and gritty, should look great on 4K, and table tennis sequences should be a good test for your displays motion.

The 4K Blu-ray of Marty Supreme comes with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, which will not only be great for delivering the movies soundtrack (filled with
songs from both the 1950s and 1980s) but also for the movies ping pong sequences. Im looking forward to putting this one through our reference Samsung HW-Q990C soundbar to really test that immersive Atmos feel. Release dates

It tells the story of Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford), a gambler who takes a job for a casino owner, only for issues to arise when he realizes the owners new wife
is his ex-lover, Gilda (Hayworth).

It seems like every month I write about a new Criterion Collection 4K disc that brings new life to an older movie, be it 3:10 To Yuma, Captain Blood, Double Indemnity: I could go on. Gilda looks like its set to be the latest entry into this lineage, and I have every faith this movie is going to look excellent in 4K, especially with Dolby Vision HDR included.

The 4K disc of Gilda is only set to feature an LCPM mono soundtrack, but again, as Ive experienced with a few Criterion Collection 4K discs, Im expecting a refined soundtrack with clear speech and a clean score. There
wont be anything sound-system-worthy, but it should be great nonetheless. Release dates

Directed by Chlo Zhao, Hamnet won multiple awards, including Academy Awards for Zhao (Best Director), Buckley (Best Actress), and Best Picture.

Hamnet should look great on 4K Blu-ray. It has contrasting scenes that
should really show off all areas of a display. From the lush natural forests with occasionally bold costumes to the grittier, dirtier streets of London, there should be plenty here to serve as a visual feast. Not least of all because Dolby Vision HDR is supported.

While this disc is unlikely to push your system to its limits like an action blockbuster would, the Hamnet 4K release does come with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Where I expect this to shine is during the scenes in the forests and nature. These can often be among the best types of scenes for really showing off a Dolby Atmos sound system, with more subtle sound effects. Release date
