Holy s***! Great news! He was really the uncredited 3rd composer on AVENGERS 2, and dammit, the movie should have been his from the get-go.

Baring rejections, I feel better knowing the two films are a Balfe/Junkie XK-free zone.

I clicked the link posted above that also had a source link. The source was from imdb on it's Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 page, which doesn't even have a composer listed yet.

So until Film Music Reporter, Marvel Studios, or Silvestri himself confirms this. I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

If this ends up being true, please change the thread title to ALL CAPS, as is the custom these days, but would actually be justified in this case.

Oh my god YES!!! The last Marvel/Avengers scores I've cared anything about were Cap America and The Avengers, both by Silvestri. I so hope this news is true, because I can't take much more of Brian Tyler and Henry Jackman's forgetful scores.

IIRC, this is his official website though.

Agreed. Since they reused so much of his material, they should have just hired him.

Very exciting if this comes to pass, his 'Avengers' score is one of my favourites of the last 5 years.

Of course, after last minute reshoots, Danny Elfman will be called back...

Disney has now given Kevin Feige more control over Marvel films. There has been cost cutting issues with many of the last few Marvel films which was rectified with Civil War. I have no doubt that Kevin Feige would have had Silvestri for Age of Ultron.

I am over the moon about this announcement - if anyone can write a theme for Thanos - it's Silvestri.

Here's my awesome idea — Silvestri should use Elfman's adaptation of the AVENGERS theme to start and then morph it back to the original at the first opportunity.

Thanos? Isn't this movie supposed to be about dueling Infiniti-Lexus dealerships?

Though I can't stand the movies (and offspring), I liked the first score. The second movie's score only sounded good when it reminded me of Silvestri so great to have him back on board I guess!

Cost cutting issues? I would have preferred the original planned "smaller scale" Captain America 3 to Civil War personally (even though it was done well, it was too many superheroes and not enough development). Was Winter Soldier from the "cost saving" period? I liked that film much better. That, Ant-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy are my three favorite Marvel films by far, all from about the same period. I say bring the lower budgets back -- maybe they made for more creativity and emphasis on script and character over special effects action.

I wasn't huge on the work in the first Avengers score or Captain America: The First Avenger (outside of maybe 3 really strong themes(, but I know that Silvestri has done amazing scores, so hopefully this will be one of them.

God forbid they give the gig to Debney, McNeely, JNH. Someone who can write exciting themes with some depth.
