Marvel Studios has tapped Brian Tyler, composer of Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, to write the music for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Having already scored Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, Brian Tyler finds himself being called once more unto the breach. Confirmed by Film Music Reporter, Marvel Studios and Disney have tapped Tyler to compose the music for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The news marks the departure of Alan Silvestri from the Avengers films, who also composed the score for Captain America: The First Avenger. The news also increases Tyler’s profile as an action movie composer, as he has previously scored the last two Expendables movies, several installments in the Fast & Furious franchise, and most recently composed the music for Fox’s hit TV series Sleepy Hollow.
Avengers: Age of Ultron reunites Joss Whedon with the original cast of the Avengers, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and Bruce “the Hulk” Banner (Mark Ruffalo). The film also will introduce new superheroes Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) when the team faces a new threat in the robotic guise of the villainous Ultron (James Spader).
Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1, 2015.
