It'll be the same everywhere mate. All disney wwa steels are. Only thing that may differ is the finish.
They aren't always matte finish... not the disney ones anyway. They're the same as the rest of the world (except US), so finishes vary. The recent slew of sony japan exclusive steels have all been glossy too btw.
I went for this as it normally go for the MovieNEX anyway for the 3D. Steelbook is crap with that silver border. Hopefully someone will do a steelbook magnet to cover it up like I have ended up doing on some others
I know all the Shang-Chi steelbooks had spot gloss, but the US ones were satin with spot gloss. The true is the same for Black Widow.
Did the Doctor Strange Multiverse steelbook from Japan have full gloss like the US one? I know the UK steelbook is matte.
I mean it's a mixed bag. Disney steels CAN be gloss/spot in all regions, but they can also be matte or spot elsewhere instead of full gloss like the US. The US now always has gloss or spot Disney steels, i can't remember the last matte one they had.
Japan always get the same as UK/EU/AUS etc.. (ROW), it's only the US/CA that differs. DS2 and eternals were unfortunately matte for ROW, glossy US. BW & Shang-Chi were essentially the same for both, save for satin vs matte on non spot sections.
IMAX 3D was decent. Not amazing, but worthwhile. Doctor Strange and Lightyear were better though.
I nearly bid for the Japanese Dr Strange 2 and Shang Chi on a well known auction site, to get the 3d discs, but I read that even if you choose the English dialogue, you still get forced subtitles at the bottom of the screen which seems quite annoying. Didn’t want to risk it for the amount it was going to cost! Also, past conversions have not been great on the 3d disc, especially Dune, which I got from Amazon de.
I've watched both BW and Shang-Chi JP 3D discs and I don't think either have hard coded subs throughout... you need to turn english subs on and off for foreign language sections, but that's to be expected given it's a disc thats only available in an non english speaking region. I don't think there's any foreign language sections in DS2 or Thor4, so it shouldn't come up.
i think the 3D was just ok, not great (Strange 2 was way better) it was serviceable but there's one specific b&w scene that i liked it a lot
i always enjoyed watching 3D at home but as lately not much 3D releases as often as before (can't believe Sony still didn't release Spider-Man: No Way Home 3D worldwide, there's only one release in Australia) so any 3D releases are always a welcome...

Many thanks for the info. Looking at getting this now on your experience of the 3d discs. Can you tell me if the 3d disc is region free or is it coded as A ? Cheers
I do have a multiregion player, but I'm relatively sure I had it set to B when I played these. Friend of mine also played them, and he has a region B player. So I'm certain they'll play in B, can't be sure for other regions. It's disney though, so probs region free.
