You cannot "cast" iTunes movies to a Chromecast. you can cast things like the Youtube App and other supported apps, but not movies from iTunes.

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apps_with_Google_Cast_support


To play movies purchased on iTunes on a TV you have the following options:


  1. An Apple TV (you can stream direclty on it, or Airplay from the TV App on an iOS device)
  2. TV with the Apple TV app or one that supports Airplay 2,
  3. You can connect the iPhone directly to a TV using an HDMI cable with a Lightning Digital AV Adapter - Lightning to HDMI - Apple


See here: Apple TV app - Devices - Apple
