Tyler Bates returning to score ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
Tyler Bates did the music for Guardians of the Galaxy. You know, the music that wasn’t a part of that insanely catchy mix-tape. But all the same, he provided some good tunage in the flick. How memorable were his riffs? I mean, they weren’t up there with Redbone’s participation. But what is?
Collider confirmed the news today Tyler Bates would return to score Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which is officially titled Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Writer/director James Gunn has completed work on the screenplay for the sequel. The story is said to be “more emotional” than the first film, and we’ve heard that Chris Pratt cried when he read it. We know that the sequel will explore Star-Lord’s long lost father, who was teased but not revealed in the first film. Gunn has previously stated that Yondu, Star-Lord’s father figure, would feature more prominently in the sequel, as would Gamora and Nebula, whose adopted dad Thanos is currently tearing through the MCU.
One of the things that everyone seems to talk about after seeing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the film’s score. While so much attention is thrown to the 1970’s/1980’s soundtrack of Star-Lord’s Awesome Mixtape, I the film’s score by Tyler Bates doesn’t get as much acclaim as it should. Many of the Marvel films lack an awesome theme, but if you ask me, Tyler Bates nailed it in his Guardians of the Galaxy theme where some of the other Marvel franchises were unable to.
