FANTASTIC FOUR Theme Revealed by Michael Giacchino at D23! Take a listen

[@GlockinBell]

Giacchino has given us a great Spider-Man theme, a great Batman theme, and now the BEST Fantastic 4 theme. Dude is climbing

[@extremepower5765]

Can't wait to listen to the full original soundtrack album for this movie.

[@mouselounge]

This is amazing in two ways. He was just hired last month, and principal photography has just gotten underway. Since scoring the picture is at the end of a long production process; how is this in the can? It’s a testament to Giacchino and his own sensibilities as a filmmaker and deep knowledge of the genre that he can commit to a theme at this early stage. As well, holy heck the technology to create that bombast with acoustic realism presumably without an orchestra. Pure speculation on my part. What say you those that were there?

[@matthewk4912]

When the original composer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story had to leave the project, Lucasfilm brought Giacchino aboard and he put together a decent store with very limited time. Giacchino is pretty good at producing quality material under serious time constraints, though of course the less rushed he is the better.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

He did exactly the same thing for The Batman. He talked to Matt Reeves (who actually 'proposed' to him on stage when asking him to do the score) about the tone then pretty much immediately wrote the now iconic The Batman theme before a single frame was in the can. It's incredible. He helped set the entire atmosphere for the production of the film

[@TheMBE2003]

Absolutely, but also this has to be a real orchestra. There's no way they got this sound out of a DAW. Giacchino would have the resources to make an actual recording happen probably whenever he wants

[@mouselounge]

@@TheMBE2003 that’s a claim. Let’s hear the evidence.

[@TheMBE2003]

@@mouselounge I don't have any evidence, but it sounds like a real orchestra with a real choir. Besides, it's not like Giacchino is famous for his use of DAWs - he's a pretty old fashioned composer. Also, my guess is he's one of the wealthiest composers in Hollywood, since he's done so many enormous movies over the past 15 years

[@LoranSkunky]

Let's the the guy who did the music for "The Incredibles" because that's SO PERFECT :)

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@WimpyKelv12]

I hope his other tracks for the movie tap more into that energetic retro-jazz of The Incredibles, the vibe of this track is different which isn't bad but I was really hoping for more of that vibe from him.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

@@WimpyKelv12 idk, I don't really want a jazz vibe. The Incredibles aren't explorers or scientists. They're a family of average joes (like Spider-Man or Superman). The Fantastic Four are not like that.

[@ckannan90]

@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZepyeah agreed. The Incredibles is Fantastic Four meets James Bond, which is why the score is so Bondsy. Brad Bird originally wanted Bond composer John Barry to do the score, that’s how Bond inspired the score is.

[@Feesh322]

As a long-time FF fan...this theme is a gift. 🥲

I really love how different F4’s theme compared to Pixar’s Incredibles that Giacchino did. Incredibles theme has a crime fighting family that around the streets while F4’s theme here is a family of four exploring many possibilities of sci fi.

[@hishamnct6983]

I like the first Fantastic 4 Theme Song By John Ottman

[@jstmarton]

It hit hard a time when there was many great marvel scores. He scored the first two X-Men films and that shortly between each other.

[@honzakusnir8697]

​@@jstmartonX-Men (2000) were actually scored by Michael Kamen, Ottman did X2, Days of the future past and Apocalypse

[@Ragnar_5522]

I hear a hint of the Incredibles and 2005 F4 by John Ottoman in there. But at the same time, it's something so original. And it also is just PERFECT for the Fantastic Four. It perfectly captures the vision Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had for this superhero team. Powerful, fantastical, bold, cosmic, and inspiring. This is now officially THE Fantastic Four anthem.

[@RH1812]

Remain seated until the ride is over.. then get hyped. Always be sceptical until they show us the fruits of their endeavours

[@Ronin_-lw3me]

This literally gives the Sci-fi Adventure type feel of Fantastic 4 in the comics

[@arthursouza9641]

This is the intention.This will be the style of the movie. A retrofuturistic 60´s like the comics. Cant´wait.Promisses to be an unique MCU movie.

[@Ronin_-lw3me]

@@arthursouza9641 I hope so too brother MCU has abandoned creativity after Endgame and then they pushed forced woke agenda in projects and when that did not work they went to nostalgia baiting Also another thing I feel is that MCU is a lil afraid of staying true to the comics that is why they change stuff unnecessarily and it's stupid I have very high hopes for this project to succeed so that It gives them a direction Especially with X-Men

(The song starts as 0:42 )

[@Nano172-r4o]

Thank you

[@Connor-fj5rc]

Since it takes place in a different universe than the rest of the MCU, I think it wills be set in November of 1961. This is when the first FF comic came out, plus this will give it a Christmasy vibe as well. Even though it is the 60’s it will be a retro-futuristic world thanks to the inventions of Reed Richard and possibly Victor von Doom.

[@blueythelizard4857]

I like the stylised instruments and vocals, although structurally it sounds like any generic hero theme. Maybe doom’s will be better, marvel villains always have good themes.

[@Deathtrooper-kn7cr]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Finally Michael Giacchino redeemed himself in terms of superhero soundtracks because the ones for Spider-Man from the UCM felt generic and empty or the one for The "Batman" which was a plagiarism of the imperial march and lacked strength and was not intimidating at all.
