I don't get why people think Williams will want to score smaller, more intimate films or opt out of Spielberg films in the coming years*
He missed BRIDGE OF SPIES due to a medical issue and other scores he was working on concurrently.
RPO was also due to other films he was working on at the time, minus the back surgery issue.
Maybe he did choose THE POST over RPO, or maybe it was purely down to the writing/recording schedule. I agree that Silvestri was a perfect fit for the latter, but it could have been just a case of serendipity.
I'm sure writing a spare, intimate score is just as hard (or easy, in Williams' case) as tackling a superhero film or space opera.
Sure, the fantasy films tend to require lots more music, but with collaborators like Conrad Pope and William Ross to hand, it's all just notes on a page. And Spielberg tends to spot things well with Williams (unlike the ridiculously over-scored LAST JEDI).
*although I agree he will always want time to write his classical/commissioned stuff.

Geez, not Spielberg succumbing to the superhero craze too?
I'm sick and tired of superhero movies and TV shows, no matter how 'cutting edge' or 'original' they are. I had hoped Spielberg went after more interesting projects instead, like that Edgar Mortara adaptation.
Disappointed. I also don't believe Williams will score if he's still around. My guess is that, after the next STAR WARS, Williams will focus on concert works and smaller, intimate scores for Spielberg (á la THE POST).
I'm with you on this one. But I still hope it will be one of those cases when Spielberg eventually decides to drop the project in favour of something else. He has done that before many times with many planned movies. He is my favourite director but I cannot see how his trademarks would find their way in a DC film. Mind you, I couldn' t really find his trademarks in Ready Player One! OK, I admit I'm not familiar with Blackhawk so maybe there's something in it that attracts Spielberg and could bring out the best of him, but I can only hope.

I'm only tired of the DC film universe, which to me really sunk after Man of Steel (just my opinion, no offense to fans meant in the slightest). I didn't even really care for Wonder Woman much.
It is interesting about SS doing this, I just wish it had been a Marvel character.
