Captain America: Civil War is now available in Digital HD on iTunes. The movie comes with a host of special features exclusive to iTunes, and Forbes reports that Marvel and iTunes Movies worked together to create a new "immersive" set of bonus features for the release.

The iTunes edition of the movie comes with a feature titled "Choose Your Side," which lets viewers choose whether they're on Team Cap or Team Iron Man. Choosing a side unlocks a series of exclusive photos, videos, posters, comics and more for each team. According to Forbes, every actor in the film gets an in-depth filmography that includes the actor's photos over the years and quotes from other actors about what it's like to work with them.

iTunes movies typically include cast filmographies so users can easily purchase or rent other films a certain actor may have starred in, and they sometimes include exclusive bonus features like audio commentary.

In addition to the iTunes-exclusive bonus content, Civil War comes with deleted scenes, audio commentary, a gag reel, a preview of Marvel's upcoming film Doctor Strange and two behind-the-scenes extras. The first is a two-part making-of documentary called "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," and the other is "The Road to Civil War," which charts the journey of Captain America and Iron Man from the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to their stand-off in Civil War.

Apple has also added Team Captain America and Team Iron Man pages to the iTunes Movies carousel. Each page lists movies, comics, music, apps and TV shows tied to the members of that specific team.

Captain America: Civil War is available on iTunes now for $19.99 in Digital HD. [Direct Link]

[doublepost=1472926184][/doublepost]As I recover from a recent surgery I decided to spend the mega bucks to watch this thing' and all I can say is that I should've popped another pill instead. Usually, I like this franchise, but this piece of 'bleep' was so incredibly boring and unoriginal, I turned off the TV and just went to bed.

$25 CDN to buy... if I rented this 3 times I'd still probably have ended up spending less money over time. Never understood people wasting their money on buying movies for home watching.

Because we want to and people actually like to watch a film more than once. Just because you don't, doesn't mean no one else loves films.

As i have an OLED 4k UHD HDR TV, I am awaiting the 4k UHD HDR blurays.
After comparing native 1080p films from a bluray to itunes, netflix and amazon [an expensive test] the bluray ran circles around the others, the pundits over on av forums attributed this to the compression used.

I have a brand new (less than a few weeks old) 4K OLED. Blu-rays will ALWAYS look better than the streamed version, but most normal folks won't notice the difference. With that said upscaled Blu-rays/1080P Streams looks just as/almost as good as a true 4k UHD Blu-ray. I think we need to wait for new movies being shot now to truly see the full potential of our beautiful OLED displays.

While I admire Disney for jumping in on new technologies, I doubt there will be any Disney 4K UHDs released for another year because they'd have to figure out how to upgrade their excellent Disney Movie Anywhere service to account for the 4K Digital versions of films - until all services support it and there's a universal standard I don't see Disney jumping into that well just yet. I'm hoping when they do there will be some sort of upgrade path for all our current DMA titles. I think the Pixar Films and Disney Animated films will look AMAZING in UHD - although it's hard to top their current Blu-ray transfers :)

While I agree that Bluray is way better than iTunes, typically iTunes is way better than Netflix and Amazon. The only online service that gives iTunes a quality competition is VUDU.

Bluray coding is way better for audio. I can get lossless 7.1 audio with either dts-hd-MA or Dolby trueHD and for those with immersive experience Dolby Atmos. I can't believe itunes does not even support Dolby Digital Plus which Netflix and vudu support. They are stuck with the 20 year old Dolby digital 5.1. That's like Amazon still
being stuck with MP3 for their music downloads.
Thats why ATV4 is such a failure for me. Where is 7.1? Nowhere for ATV4.
 
Is this a Hollywood blog now? I come here for news and rumors about Apple products. If the site is going to just start throwing loosely related content at the wall, MR is coming off my rotation. Please advise, MR staff.

You saw the title of the post, why'd you read it? There's plenty of other posts that are "news and rumors".

Just Say'n.

Absolutely agree, until one tries HDR.

I can imagine Disney 4k HDR would be truly mesmerising.

What's with the overblown hate? It was very well received by critics and fans alike... I thought the movie was OK, not great, but in line with other Marvel films for sure. Do you guys work for DC or something?
No, DC is even worse.

(Now if only we got an extended edition...)
