Brian Tyler has signed on to score Iron Man 3. The film is directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark/Iron Man, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Paul Bettany who are reprising their characters from the previous film. Ben Kingsley stars as the film’s villain The Mandarin and Rebecca Hall, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton are also starring. Black has co-written the screenplay with Drew Pearce. Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige (The Avengers, Thor) is producing the third installment in the franchise and Louis D’Esposito, Stan Lee and Charles Newirth are executive producing. Jon Favreau is also executive producing and returns as Happy Hogan. Tyler follows composers Ramin Djawadi and John Debney who scored the previous two films in the series. Iron Man 3 is set to be released on May 3, 2013 by Walt Disney Pictures.
Other upcoming projects of the composer of such films as Fast Five, The Expendables and Eagle Eye include D.J. Caruso’s Standing Up (previously entitled The Goats) and John Dies at the End.
This is gonna be awesome
I totally didn’t expected it. But he’s perfect, he’ll keep the same style of the two previous scores, but with his own sound.
As soon as he “liked” Iron Man page on Facebook I knew something is going on.
I don’t like the idea of changing main themes in every movie, that’s simply annoying, but as a huge Tyler fan can’t really complain either.
Iron Man hasn’t had much of a real theme yet. So Tyler can succeed where the others have failed.
You are wrong. Ramin Djawadi composed a great theme.
Debney wrote a theme (a homage to Goldsmith’s Total Recall), though Marvel didn’t let him use it in the movie (but it’s in the CD).
It was in mark 5 suit up scene.
this should be good, loved his scores for Final Destination 5 and Fast 5
i’m not a huge fan of IronMan franchise but having Brian Tyler on board for the music department makes me interested with how it would turned out. I like Dwadi’s other works but his work on IM is forgettable. J. Debney made a good score but is hardly heard being overpowered with all those sfx and his theme didn’t even make it in the film and that’s a shame because it could have been good. i have faith in Mr. Tyler’s works and that i’m excited to hear.
Agree with the last sentence. Score was mixed very low.
and here i was kinda hoping Brian Tyler would be the next guy to make the score for Captain America 2 should Alan Silvestri moved on with other projects but with him (Tyler) scoring IM i think i’m curious now to see the film on DVD.
Great news. I can’t wait to hear it.
Changing the score of certain theme type movies is sometimes needed to switch things up a bit…, in an effort to prevent the audience from predicting or expecting what is about to occur. As well as not make the audience bored with the same old thing.
