Dr Strange is my favorite Giacchino score ( to be honest a lot of his film work is hit and miss for me, but this one I love ), and one of my favorite Marvel scores.
Elfman - I enjoyed his work on Ultron and even Justice League, but his superhero stuff has never clicked with me. Last year I took all of the superhero type scores of his and traded them in for store credit.
Christopher Young would have delivered a cool score I think.
I'm sure Elfman will do a great job but I was really rooting for Young to get this one, also because I felt he should've scored the first one based on relationship with Scott Derrickson. And someone of Young's talent deserves these kind of high profile gigs. I dunno, maybe he should get a new agent.
I dunno about a new agent? The director or producers would probably just want him to emulate that drony, processed/programmed Zimmer style shtick, which would just be a total waste of his talent. I wish he'd kept on scoring Chinese epics or more full blooded orchestral styled scores from other parts of the globe, where their ears haven't become tin.
