The Fantastic Four’s Composer Michael Giacchino Shares With Us The Influences He Drew From For The Score, And What He’s Recorded So Far

I’m going to put my cards on the table, folks: even as someone who’s feeling a certain degree of superhero fatigue, it’s hard not to look forward to "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." The upcoming Marvel movie reintroduces Marvel's First Family in a story that’s starting to sound like a retrofuturist’s dream come true. So of course, I’m deeply invested in where this goes, as that particular label is one I hold dear.

What we know about the MCU’s "Fantastic Four" reboot has also freshly clued us into the fact that veteran Marvel composer/geek at large Michael Giacchino will be scoring this new project. Thanks to a recent conversation with Giacchino, we have the knowledge of three key influences he’s drawn from for the project’s score; as well as how much has already been recorded.
