The MCU’s Phase Two was yet another turning point for Marvel’s superheroes to level up their musical game and there is no better showcase of this than the entire soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. The move would signify that both musical scores and featured songs were now more than ever in tune with every superhero’s personality and the movie’s general tone, with some space for the greatest hits available at the time, like the Foo Fighters’ “Walk” serving as Thor’s motivational anthem.įor the remainder of the MCU’s Phase One, every hero would start finding their own musical identity just like Iron Man did and this was one of the challenges Alan Silvestri faced in the first Avengers movie, the biggest MCU film up to that point, despite also scoring Captain America: The First Avenger. That change manifests itself from the first moment AC/DC’s “Back in Black” introduces audiences to Robert Downey Jr.’s Stark until the end credits that adequately wrap up the film by borrowing from Black Sabbath’s own “Iron Man”.įrom that point onward the MCU really never looked back as far as music came, Iron Man 2 one-upped its game by not only including some songs by The Clash and AC/DC in its soundtrack but making the latter an integral part of the movie’s sound and Stark’s personality. While the superhero movies from the early 2000s played it safe with then-current hits from contemporary bands and musical scores from the likes of Danny Elfman and John Ottman, Iron Man represents a drastic change in Marvel’s sound with Ramin Djawadi ( Game of Thrones) bringing electric guitars and other electronic sounds into the film’s score that better compliment Tony Stark’s fondness for modern tech and classic rock.

However, since the first Iron Man, every subsequent Marvel movie went on to be bigger in almost every way, including the music that was featured in the films.

Rewinding to the early cartoons from the 60s or the more sophisticated animated series from the 90s, all the way to the first superhero films of the 2000s -which also had Kevin Feige in producing roles-, each of those surely helped in crafting the MCU’s identity today. Of course, there were previous animated and live-action attempts to do so, but never quite matching the production values that are seen in Marvel blockbusters today. Since 2007 Marvel Entertainment set itself out to bring to cinemas all of the beloved superheroes from its comics in a way that had never been seen before.
