Last month, a new poster for "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" revealed that Danny Elfman was providing "additional material" to Brian Tyler‘s score. It was an interesting little nugget of info, but now the composer himself has detailed what exactly his work will be on Joss Whedon‘s upcoming sequel.
"…I’ve contributed music to the new ‘Avengers’ movie. I took part of Alan Silvestri‘s theme on the original [movie], which I really liked, and I pulled it into it the new theme, which became kind of a hybrid. I really enjoyed that," he told 891 ABC Adelaide (via MovieWeb). So, keep your ears out for that.
In the meantime, Ultron takes center stage in the latest poster for this Marvel movie. If he wasn’t hellbent on destroying the superhero team, maybe he could be the first robot supermodel. ‘Age Of Ultron’ arrives on May 1st.
Presumably puts to bed the rumors that they were going to be re-using his Spider-Man cues in the film. I\’ve said it before (elsewhere) but one thing The Avengers did lack in terms of its score was an actual theme. People tried arguing that there was one and maybe there was some vague inkling of it but Silvestri didn\’t bring it to where it should\’ve been (I didn\’t care for the score overall, largely because of a lack of thematic material – so many opportunities to lay the groundwork there and all we got was a re-use of his Cap theme). Since they\’re bringing in Elfman, it\’ll be nice to have an actual theme carried across these films.
