Marvel Movie Music

For over twenty years, Marvel films have loomed like modern-day myths – flashy, franchise-fed giants that redefined how we consume heroes, villains and the politics we project onto them. But beneath the explosions and CGI capes lies something quieter, stranger, harder to merchandise: the music. A great score doesn’t shout, it seeps. It carries the weight of a thousand unspoken lines. The best superhero films know this, layering their high-budget gloss over orchestral compositions that tug at something more primal. The Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (RBSO) taps into this often-overlooked dimension – not to mimic, but to translate. Because what is a hero without the hum beneath his fall, or a battle without that surge of strings right before it all begins? Sometimes, the soundtrack tells the truth the film won’t. Jun 26-27.
