Dark Phoenix

(Original Motion

Picture Soundtrack)

Hans Zimmer


The legendary German film score composer
Hans Zimmer, who has scored a range
of top-tier films including The Lion King,
Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Interstellar and
Dunkirk, has now also composed the score
for Dark Phoenix, the final installment in
the main X-Men film series that started
back in 2000.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Zimmer’s musical trademark has long been
    his integration of electronic music sounds
    with traditional orchestral arrangements.

  2. Directors with which he has collaborated
    for film scores include Sir Ridley Scott,
    Ron Howard, Michael Bay, John Woo and
    Christopher Nolan.

  3. Originally, after scoring 2016’s Batman
    v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zimmer
    announced that he had “officially retired”
    from composing scores for superhero films.

  4. However, Zimmer later explained that
    director Ron Howard had persuaded him to
    wait for a suitable story rather than avoid a
    whole genre – hence his acceptance of the
    Dark Phoenix job.

  5. The film has had mixed reviews, with
    criticism particularly focused on its plot and
    character development, although Sophie
    Turner’s performance in the eponymous role
    has attracted praise.
