DRIVE & CONTAGION Composer Cliff Martinez Set To Score James Mangold's WOLVERINE 3
20th Century Fox's upcoming Wolverine sequel, which has James Mangold directing & Hugh Jackman starring, has landed a top-notch composer in the form of Cliff Martinez. Come get all the details now!
After scoring a number of films for acclaimed directors Nicolas Winding Refn & Steven Soderbergh over the years, composer Cliff Martinez is ready to embark on a whole new kind of challenge in the world of comic book movies.
Earlier today, Film Music Reporter learned that Martinez has signed on to score James Mangold's upcoming Wolverine sequel, which stars the Academy Award-nominated Hugh Jackman in his final outing as the fan-favorite hero. He'll take over from Marco Beltrami, who scored 2013's The Wolverine. Details on the film's plot are being kept under lock-and-key, but it's been heavily rumored that the film could possibly be a loose adaptation of the Old Man Logan and/or Death of Wolverine storylines. Principal photography is currently underway in New Orleans.
Martinez is best known for his work on over ten different Soderbergh projects for film and television, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape, King of the Hill, Traffic, Contagion, and The Knick. He also recently scored Drive and The Neon Demon for Winding Refn, Spring Breakers for Harmoney Korine, and The Normal Heart for Ryan Murphy. His work can be heard next in the Jackie Chan/Pierce Brosnan-starrer The Foreigner.
