The first few months of 2019 were huge for “Black Panther” and Donald Glover. Ryan Coogler’s superhero movie took home three Oscars, including the prize for best score. At the Grammys, where it won again, Glover’s musical alter ego Childish Gambino picked up four trophies for his ambitious political music video and song “This Is America.” Both had something in common: a longhaired, lightly bearded Swedish musician named Ludwig Goransson.

Goransson may not be a household name, but he’s a well-known face behind the scenes. (His brief moment in the spotlight came when he accepted the record of the year Grammy for “This Is America” and thanked 21 Savage, who was absent in ICE detention.) He did innovative soundtrack work for Coogler’s Rocky film “Creed” as well as the director’s breakthrough, “Fruitvale Station.” Goransson is currently at work on Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet,” but his next major project arrives on Tuesday: He scored all eight episodes of the Disney Plus “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian.”
