The sequel to 2012's
The Avengers,
Avengers: Age of Ultron features music composed by Oscar nominee
Danny Elfman and Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise alum
Brian Tyler (
Iron Man 3,
Thor: The Dark World).
Tyler has said that, while influenced by previous Marvel movie scores, the music pays homage to
John Williams' sci-fi and adventure classics.
Alan Silvestri's theme from
The Avengers was also incorporated. Appropriately lavish, brassy, and adrenalized, the original score was recorded with the London Philharmonia Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios early in 2015 and, at well over an hour in length, was released by Hollywood Records in the spring of 2015. ~ Marcy Donelson
