There are certainly enough of them by now. I can't say I'm very well acquainted with most of these scores outside their films, but I'm pretty impressed by what Brian Tyler wrote for Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 3, and I thought Tyler Bates actually came up with a pretty awesome main theme for the Guardians. I also really dug Mothersbaugh's retro-synth stuff on Ragnarok.

So rank 'em or just post your favorite or whatever you like from these films. I'm interested in hearing from people with more intimate knowledge of the Marvel film score verse than I.

Here they are:

Phase One

1.1 Iron Man (2008)
1.2 The Incredible Hulk (2008)
1.3 Iron Man 2 (2010)
1.4 Thor (2011)
1.5 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
1.6 The Avengers (2012)

Phase Two

2.1 Iron Man 3 (2013)
2.2 Thor: The Dark World (2013)
2.3 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
2.4 Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
2.5 Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
2.6 Ant-Man (2015)

Phase Three

3.1 Captain America: Civil War (2016)
3.2 Doctor Strange (2016)
3.3 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
3.4 Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
3.5 Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
3.6 Black Panther (2018)
3.7 Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Right now, I'm trying to decide between three scores from this list - Silvestri's Captain America, Giacchino's Doctor Strange and Mothersbaugh's Thor Ragnarok, I find them all really memorable.

Is that considered an MCU film? I don't think it is.

Used it. Perhaps I should clarify that this thread is only for scores of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

(Anyways, I can't for the love of Thor see what's wrong with duplicate threads.)

The Amazing Spider-Man isn't MCU. But I concur James Horner wrote an exceptional score for that film and it surely tops most if not all of the MCU scores for me.

Yep, that picture isn't part of the "official" MCU ( films produced by Marvel ), but it's my favorite score from any film featuring Marvel heroes. Otherwise... Iron Man 3 is pretty darn good, but Silvestri's Cap or Infinity War are right up there.

The movies listed in the original post all take place in the same continuity, called the MCU. The MCU also includes the TV shows Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, The Defenders, The Inhumans, and oh god probably others I can’t remeber at this point.

Things not in the MCU:

The 3 Sam Raimi “Spider-man” movies
The 2 Marc Webb “Amazing Spider-man” movies
Any movie with X-Men or Wolverine in the title
Any Fantastic Four movie
Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie
Deadpool
The mid-2000s Punisher movies
The Blade trilogy
Howard the Duck
The early 1990s Captain America movies
The Ben affleck Daredevil movie
The Jennifer Garner Elektra movie
THE Nicolas Cage Ghost Rider movies
Etc

They’re all based on Marvel comics, but are not within he Marvel Cinematic Universe because other film companies had bought the rights, and/or they predate the 2008 start of the MCU.

Several of the characters from those non-MCU movies have appeared in the MCU as new iterations with new actors (Daredevil, Spider/man, Hulk, Elektra, Howard the Duck, Ghost Rider).

There aren’t really any MCU scores that I love, but these have the most stand-out highlights for me.


Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Black Panther (2018)

It probably isn’t but it is most definitely the best superhero score from a. Marvel film! IMHO of course!

Best MCU score - Spider-Man Homecoming

Best 3

1. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World are tied for #2.

Black Panther tops this. Easily.

#1 BLACK PANTHER (by a considerable margin)

#2 THE AVENGERS

#3 CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

For the MCU TV Series, only JESSICA JONES has a particularly memorable score and it is FABULOUS!
