FIVE FACTS:
1. The then director of the Ant-Man movie,
Edgar Wright, tweeted in February 2014
that the film would be scored by Steven
Price, who had recently composed for
another big movie, Gravity.
2. However, Wright left the project in early
2014, and Price followed.
3. Christophe Beck, Prices replacement,
has commented: What makes this score

is a sneaky sense of fun since it is, after all,
not only a superhero movie, but also a heist
comedy.
