HANS ZIMMER forms SUPERGROUP to SCORE ‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2’

Hans Zimmer.

Hans Zimmer seems hesitant about scoring Batman vs. Superman vs. WB’s Anxious About Marketing Kal-El By Himself, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the capes game. Dude is rolling up to Amazing Spider-Man 2 with a posse.

Hans Zimmer has inherited The Amazing Spider-Man 2 scoring duties from James Horner, and he’s going about the job in an unusual way. Zimmer isn’t just writing a score himself; he’s formed a supergroup of sorts to great the score.

Sony announced today that Zimmer and director Marc Webb are working with Pharrell WilliamsJohnny Marr (The Smiths), Michael Einzinger (Incubus), and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) on music for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Zimmer had told Collider not long ago,

I’ve done a lot of action, I’ve done a lot of buildings falling down basically and things exploding, so I’m sort of trying to figure out, ‘Is there a slightly different way of doing it?’  And I’m not sure yet, but I’m certainly working on it.

Looks like this is part of his “different way.” And it’s a neat idea that follows up on the drum circle of great players Zimmer assembled for the Man of Steel score.
