The Marvels (Action, Adventure, Fantasy)

Be the first to watch “The Marvels” at home, as the film is now available to own on Digital from Marvel Studios. The movie also flies onto 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, Feb. 13.

Carol Danvers (Brie Larson, “Captain Marvel”), a.k.a. Captain Marvel, has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole, her powers are entangled with super-fan Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani, “Ms. Marvel”), a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris, “WandaVision”). Together, this unlikely trio must team up and work together to save the universe.

Marvel fans can now add the film to their collection and access exclusive bonus content, including four deleted scenes (“Captain-in-Residence,” “It’s Under Control,” “Space Yoga” and “The Chase”), a gag reel, two behind-the-scenes featurettes and an audio commentary from co-writer/director Nia DaCosta (“Candyman”) and VFX Supervisor Tara DeMarco (“WandaVision”).

Next Goal Wins (Comedy, Drama, Sport)

Based on a true story, “Next Goal Wins” is now available to own on Digital from Searchlight Pictures. The film also arrives on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, Feb. 27.

The heartfelt underdog comedy follows the American Samoa soccer team, infamous for their brutal 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup qualifiers fast approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender, “X-Men: First Class”), hoping he will turn the world’s worst soccer team into winners.

Bonus features on the release include a single deleted scene — “Priest Blessing the Team” — as well as the featurette “The Pitch of Life.” The short-form documentary explores filmmaker Taika Waititi’s (“Jojo Rabbit”) loving homage to American Samoa, Polynesian culture and the sports movie as it showcases what it took to make a winning movie about the losingest soccer team in the world.

The Sea Shall Not Have Them/Albert R.N. (Drama, War)

Two gripping and suspenseful WWII dramas directed by Lewis Gilbert (“Alfie,” “You Only Live Twice”) come to Blu-ray when “The Sea Shall Not Have Them” and “Albert R.N.” debut as a double feature on Tuesday, Jan. 23, from Cohen Film Collection.

In Gilbert’s memorable and gripping WWII saga “The Sea Shall Not Have Them,” four Allied men struggle to survive in a lifeboat on the North Sea after their plane is shot down. One of the men carries secret documents that can save London from Nazi destruction. In a daring race against time, will their rescuers save them before Nazi U-boats, stormy seas, exposure and enemy-mined waters kill them?

Based on true events, the World War II drama “Albert R.N.” follows a group of British POWs who suspect that there is a German spy in their midst after several escape attempts are foiled. Deftly directed by Gilbert and supported by Jack Asher’s (“The Curse of Frankenstein”) moody cinematography, “Albert R.N.” stands beside paragons of the genre such as “Stalag 17” and “The Great Escape.”
