Christophe Beck Scores ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA

Award-winning composer Christophe Beck returns to score Marvel Studios’ third installment in the Ant-Man series, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA. The film marks Beck’s fourth collaboration with director Peyton Reed, with whom he collaborated on the previous Ant-Man films and the 2000 comedy, BRING IT ON, and Beck’s fifth Marvel score, the hit series WANDAVISION and HAWKEYE. Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan Majors, and Kathryn Newton, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA opens in theaters on February 17th. The digital soundtrack album will be released by Marvel Music on February 15th.

In the film, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang.

Shifting to a higher-stakes tone from the more lighthearted nature of the previous Ant-Man films, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA allowed Christophe Beck to take the music of the Ant-Man franchise into more epic territory. While maintaining continuity from the preceding scores with odd meters and recurring themes, Beck dives deeper with experimental sounds and the use of old and new technology to take this score to the next level. The score was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London with 80 musicians, with additional recording at Synchron Stage in Vienna.
