digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below

Iron Man 3 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Disney's glossy, smooth SteelBook follows in the style of so many previously released UHD MCU Steels, offering a front side that basically takes some
existing artwork and drops it into a battered and tattered looking frame on the front (in fact, the edge work is identical to that seen on the Iron Man and Iron Man 2 SteelBooks). This artwork features a busy collection of
half-body images, including Tony Stark, in heavily battle-damaged Iron Man armor, holding Pepper Potts close in. It also features character portraits of
Colonel Rhodes, Aldrich Killian, and Mandarin floating about the cover. Some random action effects appear around the periphery, including Iron Man
and Iron Patriot flying along the left-hand side. The rear side is simpler in design; only the upgraded triangular Arc reactor appears center, alit,
surrounded by a brushed metal, battle worn very dark blue color. It's identical to the original film's, and its sequel's, SteelBook in terms of points of
wear around the reactor. Paramount, Marvel, copyright, and model numbers appear in fine print at the bottom. The spine carries over that same dark
blue color with the film's title appearing center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and UHD and Marvel logos at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features the Iron Man Mark 42 suit, chilling on a couch in Stark's palatial
home. Everything but Iron Man's right hand, which is resting along the couch's top, appears on the right underneath the discs; there's nothing of much
interest on the left.

Iron Man 3 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
The SteelBook is fairly attractive and fits in nicely with many of the other MCU UHD re-releases. The UHD's picture quality is good but the Atmos track
comes up short. Still,
this is a must-own for MCU fanatics and SteelBook collectors.
