iTunes movie with theatrical and extended cuts

So I’m looking to purchase the Deadpool 2 movie when it comes out. I want the super duper cut and iTunes is only mentioning the super duper cut in the iTunes extra content but not in the title. My question is this because I’ve never bought a iTunes movie that has both versions, but how does that work. When I click play does it ask me for which version I want to watch or does it automatically start playing the theatrical cut and I have to go to extras to select the extended cut. My second question then is if it’s listed under extras does that mean even if I have it downloaded to my phone for let’s say an airplane ride and I’m on airplane mode, does this mean that it won’t let me watch the extended cut at all without a WiFi connection. I’m hoping that’s not the case because that’s maddening and I’d just wish they would release a second extended cut only version.

Greetings, pythonguy88.

I see that you're planning to pre-order a movie before it's released in the iTunes Store. You're wanting to order the "super duper cut", and you're wondering if there are any special steps needed. You're also wondering if you download the movie to your iPhone if you'll be able to watch it while you're offline. I'm happy to help.

Pre-order apps, movies, music, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store -- Here are the steps to use to pre-order apps, movies, music and books from iTunes Store. The iTunes Extras (super duper cut) are included in this release.

If you can't view your iTunes Extras -- You'll be able to watch the movie while you're offline, but iTunes Extras require an internet connection.

Movies with iTunes Extras have this badge on the item's product page on the iTunes Store. You can watch iTunes Extras with an Internet connection.

Take care, and enjoy your day!

Theatrical will download. The super duper cut will be an iTunes extra. I verified today. Sadly I couldn’t watch the super duper cut without WiFi.

Thanks for the reply but this is not what I asked. I understand it’s a preorder don’t need info for that, and I stated I understand that iTunes extras don’t work unless on WiFi. My question was to the aspect that if a movie that’s comes with both a theatrical cut and extended cut, which one is the one that is downloaded. For example, suicide squad had a theatrical cut listed and under the iTunes extras says it includes the extended cut. My question is this, does the extended version only come as an iTunes extra meaning that the only downloaded part of the movie is the theatrical cut, and the extended cut is only able to be streamed through iTunes extras that require WiFi. The reason I’m asking is because I don’t want to buy a movie that says I get both cuts but if I’m offline such as on a plane in airplane mode, the only cut watchable without WiFi is the theatrical cut.
