"Salem" music composer Tyler Bates is set to be on board and be in charge in the soundtrack of James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2."
According to Collider, Bates stands as the second composer to score a direct film sequel in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, with Henry Jackman as first, scoring Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War." Bates scores have been remarkable to fans, in addition to Peter Quill's "Volume 1" mixtape.
Bates wrote some scores in advance for Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy," so that the director could shoot some scenes that synergize with the music. Hence, it is possible that the music composer will do the same in Gunn's film sequel, as per Cinema Blend.
Aside from scoring Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy" last year, Bates is also known to compose the music for Zack Snyder's action fantasy film "300" and "Sucker Punch," and Chad Stahelski and David Leitch's action thriller "John Wick." He is set to score Emilio Estevez's drama film "The Public" and Greg McLean's horror thriller "The Belko Experiment."
In addition to Bates' music in Gunn's sequel, fans will see the comeback of Kraglin, Yondu, and Nebula, along with a possible storyline involving Quill and his father, who was not central in Gunn's "guardians of the Galaxy."
"Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2" stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper (voice), Vin Diesel (voice), Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, and Sean Gunn, among others.
Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2" is set to hit the big screen on May 5, 2017.
