Hollywood Records going to release, only digital
Award-winning composer Christophe Beck reteams with the Marvel Cinematic Universe to score Ant-Man and the Wasp, the sequel to Ant-Man. The film marks the third collaboration between Beck and director Peyton Reed (Ant-Man) beginning 18 years ago with the romcom hit Bring It On (Kirsten Dunst, Paul Rudd). The composer is no stranger to creating a musical voice for superheroes, with score credits including Ant-Man (2015), Elektra (2005), and the song "Blind Man" for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Ant-Man and the Wasp opens in U.S. theaters on July 6, the same day Marvel Music/Hollywood Records are releasing the digital soundtrack to Ant-Man and the Wasp Original Motion Picture.
In addition to recording with a full orchestra, Beck explains that he was excited to create a theme for The Wasp, Ant-Man's partner-in-crime as well as incorporate more musical elements than the previous film. "I had previously created a theme for the Ant-Man in the odd meter of seven which means seven beats per bar. I created a theme for The Wasp which was in the odd meter of five. Most songs and scores are written in the more traditional 4/4 or 3/4 meters. But, when more beats are added to create a complex meter, it brings a dynamic, rhythmic effect to the music which fits in with the multifaceted character of these two superheroes."

Really surprised Marvel is staying with the original composer for the sequel. Musically speaking the MCU suffers from it's inconstancy within each series. So bravo.
It isn't really that much of a surprise. Peyton Reed who is directing this also directed Ant-Man. When the director stays on for the sequel, the composer usually does as well. The Russo Brothers brought Henry Jackman back to score Captain America: Civil War, and James Gunn brought Tyler Bates back to score Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and presumably will for 3. When a new director comes on board for a sequel, Marvel either wants, or is open to a new sound for existing characters, which oftentimes resulted in themes and a score that were as good or better than the predecessor.
[Edit] Damn, Schiffy beat me to the punch.

Peyton and James Gunn are big score nuts, especially Peyton

Hey, for those of you that know the directors, composers, and/or Marvel executives... could you encourage them to make Hollywood Records produce or contract out to one of our beloved labels a limited run of their digital only soundtracks on cd? Lakeshore Records produces titles in quantities of 1,000. Why can’t Marvel do the same? I understand digital is the future, but for a company like Marvel who still produces physical comic books... why can’t they throw us cd collectors a bone?
I’d love to purchase Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Black Panther, and now Ant-Man and Wasp.
Tried but they are not interested. Wish they would let intrada do them again.

I’m sure if they thought there was a buck to be made in it, they would.
It's clear that the bucks to be made are below the interest level of the parties involved. Unfortunate, but a sign of the times.

Thanks for trying, MV. Please keep asking :-) You know, Shawshank ‘em!

If, as someone said above - and I agree - it's spare change to Disney in the releasing of a CD, (small run or otherwise) and they can't be bothered themselves, cos of the hassle, why don't they allow Intrada or LaLaLand to do it for them?
Where's the harm in that?
And yes, the title selections of which ones are bypassing a CD release seems very arbitrary.
I wonder if the actual composer has any final say over the matter?
