THE AVENGERS (Update)


  • THE AVENGERS TUNING INTO CAPTAIN AMERICA


Alan Silvestri is now officially announced as the composer for Marvel's The Avengers. Marvel.com posted the news today, welcoming Silvestri back to their cinematic universe.

"I think to have been a part of the Marvel process is very helpful," says Silvestri, who previously scored Captain America: The First Avenger. "To see how material evolves [and] how the film evolves gives the sense of how Marvel treats their characters, cares for them, and a bit of what that Marvel post-production process feels like."

The key challenge for Silvestri this time around is to move from one big screen hero to a whole team, representing the entire cast musically.

"This is actually a very unique experience [for me]," he continues. "I've worked on films where there have been a number of stars and certainly worked on films where there have been characters of equal weight in terms of their level of importance and profile in the film, but this one is somewhat extreme in that regard because each of these characters has their own world and it's a very different situation... It's very challenging to look for a way to give everyone the weight and consideration they need, but at the same time the film is really about the coming together of these characters, which implies that there is this entity called the Avengers which really has to be representative of all of them together."

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel's The Avengers has the world's greatest Super Heroes assembling to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon, the film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan SkarsgÄrd and Samuel L. Jackson. It opens in theaters on May 4, 2012.
