Everyone’s friendly neighborhood superhero is bringing a familiar face with him for his next adventure! The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed that Michael Giacchino will provide the score for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
As one of the most beloved, well-known, and busiest film composers in the industry, Michael Giacchino has earned his place among the greatest film composers of all time. After a steady list of video game and TV credits, Giacchino hit his film stride in 2004 with The Incredibles. Achieving critical acclaim and chart success, The Incredibles remains one of his most beloved works. Giacchino would go on to become a Pixar regular, with his scores for Ratatouille and Up earning him multiple award nominations. He won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and a Grammy for Up. Giacchino is also known for his frequent collaborations with prominent blockbuster filmmakers, including Brad Bird (The Incredibles), J.J. Abrams (Star Trek), and Matt Reeves (The Batman). Other notable filmmakers that Giachcino has lent his talents to include Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), Andrew Stanton (John Carter), The Wachowski Sisters (Speed Racer), J.A. Bayona (Society of the Snow), Lee Unkrich (Coco), Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World), Drew Goddard (Bad Times At the El Royale), and Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
Michael Giacchino made his debut in the MCU with Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange, which was deemed a major highlight by critics and fans alike. He then went on to score Jon Watts’ entire trilogy of Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland. Giacchino’s other MCU scores include Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder (which he co-scored alongside Nami Malumad), Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the acclaimed Disney+ Halloween special Werewolf by Night, which Giacchino also directed. Brand New Day will be Giacchino’s 8th MCU score, maintaining his record as the most prolific composer of the franchise.
