The year’s biggest movie is making a play to be the year’s biggest digital release. Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War will arrive in multiple formats in September and contain more than an hour of bonus material about the movie that saw the Avengers disassembled.
First, a quick recap: Civil War finds Marvel’s mightiest split on whether to adopt a U.N. proposal to turn the superheroes into an international police force. Two factions emerge: one group is led by Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), who is sick at the collateral damage caused by the Avengers’ heroics; the other follows Captain America (Chris Evans), who chafes at the idea of someone else calling the shots for the team. Eventually, their disagreement erupts into an rollicking battle that includes Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) morphing into Giant-Man (as depicted above) and the introduction of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
