Composer Christophe Beck leads the musical force with his massive score for Marvel’s next blockbuster ANT-MAN, in theatres nationwide on July 17th, 2015.

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time. With the ability to shrink in size but grow in strength, a con man (Paul Rudd) must help his mentor (Michael Douglas) protect the secret of the Ant-Man suit and pull off a heist to save the world.

ANT-MAN tallies another Marvel Enterprises project for Beck; he collaborated with Marvel in 2014 writing the song “Blind Man” for The Amazing Spider Man 2, and scored Elektra in 2005.

For the ANT-MAN score, Christophe Beck combined action-oriented, grand-sounding superhero themes with fun and comical elements to evoke both anticipation and a sense of humor. Beck states: “For Ant-Man, I wanted to write a score in the grand symphonic tradition of my favorite superhero movies, with a sweeping scope and a big, catchy main theme. What makes this score stand out among other Marvel movies, though, is a sneaky sense of fun since it is, after all, not only a superhero movie, but also a heist comedy.” Beck’s score contributes to Ant-Man’s overall impact, emotionally engaging audience members and heightening all the thrills in this action-packed adventure.

Beck is currently scoring the highly anticipated film adaptation of Charles Shultz’s beloved comic strip, THE PEANUTS MOVIE.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats.

Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
