Indeed, Ragnaro k's composer Mark Mothersbaugh told Screen Rant this was something the studios were keenly aware of.īased on the trailer, Avengers: Infinity War should more than continue that. That said, subjectivity counts for quite a lot in this circumstance, considering the reaction to hearing those familiar Avengers piano notes started playing. Marvel has been called out in the past for sountracks that don't necessarily elevate the material, with claims that various composers like Silvestri, as well as Danny Elfman and Patrick Doyle, do a serviceable job yet seem almost hesitant to push boundaries. Infinity War is thus going back to its roots. Marvel films have made it something of a habit to use pre-existing songs Avengers: Age of Ultron stood out by integrating a cover of Pinocchio's"I've Got No Strings" by L'Orchestra Cinématique, while other films have incorporated traditional songs over scores - Thor: Ragnarok used "Immigrant Song" from Led Zeppelin, Spider-Man: Homecoming "Time to Pretend" by MGMT and "Confident" by Demi Lovato. What's notable is the use of an original score at all. It's currently unclear if this is an edit for the trailer or part of the actual score - it may be too far out for even a taste of what Silvestri's got in store - but it's awesome all the same. So, exactly what music is playing in this trailer? It's definitely an evolution of Silvestri's original composition, but a remix that doubles down on building up intensity, even including some Inception-esque BRAAAMs for good measure, and gives a real sense of escalation.

Then, before the action really kicks off, the main Avengers theme is given an equally somber alteration. There is a sense of impending doom and various flashes of the team (now separated following the events of Captain America: Civil War) showing the calm before the storm. The initial tone of the trailer is somber, to say the least. But what is the music that plays in this new trailer - and will it show up in the actual film? Alan Silvestri is back to score the film, promising the return of the heroes' main theme as well as some new mashups. The Avengers have assembled in the new Avengers: Infinity War trailer, although what makes the tease of the MCU's epic team-up so exciting is that music.
