Patrick Doyle who composed the first Thor film used many different elements to make a fantastic score. Ain't It Cool's, ScoreKeeper asked him about the sequel and his return.

SK: You have had a really incredible couple years, scoring PLANET OF THE APES (2011), THOR (2011) and then now BRAVE. Is there any talk yet about you being on board for the next PLANET OF THE APES or even the next THOR movie?

PD: Well it’s being discussed at the moment. (Laughs) That’s all I can say. I’m having meetings with the directors, so that’s the hope.

Thor: The Dark World is scheduled to be released on November 8, 2013.


Thor 2 is an upcoming American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Thor, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is intended to be the sequel to 2011's Thor and the eighth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Alan Taylor is set to direct a screenplay by Don Payne and Robert Rodat with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba reprising their roles from the first film. Thor 2 is scheduled to be released on November 15, 2013.

In April 2012, Hemsworth confirmed that filming is scheduled to begin in August 2012, in London, England.Hemsworth also revealed that Thor 2 will have a more Viking-influenced feel, elaborating "I think the science fiction element to Thor… the danger is it falls a little bit into the world of it's 'tough to throw a light to.' I think of big waterfalls and mountains and a Viking influence, where the Norse mythology kind of grew from. Having that in Asgard is going to make it all the more special and that's what Alan [Taylor] wants to bring to it."

the music from thor was very good,better than captain america the first avenger which came out the same year.
Ha1frican - 8/31/2012, 12:02 PM
@Marvel72 eh im gonna have to disagree there i think Cap had one of the better MCU scores, second only to Iron Man
Ha1frican - 8/31/2012, 12:04 PM
Love this kind of stuff. With a unified score it makes watching the films in sequence alot more enjoyable, thats smething i think Nolans Batman franchise did well is that while there are diferences in the scores there is always and underlying thread of similarity and in some cases it is full blown tracks
Ha1frican - 8/31/2012, 12:05 PM
Do we all agree that that title card is ass though?
marvel72 - 8/31/2012, 12:10 PM
@ Ha1frican

i liked the captain america score & its definetly one of the best i just preffered thor.
KaneVonDoom - 8/31/2012, 12:16 PM
They should've gone with the traditional Thor logo from the comics, like the title card for Guardians of the Galaxy.
jessepostal - 8/31/2012, 12:20 PM
I liked the cap score more than the thor as well, it stood out more, silvestri went with a lot of stringed instruments from that era as well as woodwinds. To me that's a talent and ballsy.
jjk2814 - 8/31/2012, 12:28 PM
This is definitely good news. I love Silvestri, and he obviously is very good, but Doyle provides infinitely more epic scores, which lends well to the God of Thunder.
Ha1frican - 8/31/2012, 12:33 PM
@Marvel72 fair enough i definitely liked Thor's score but personally Caps resonated more with me. Reminded me alot of a classical Indiana Jones, Star Wars type adventure score :)
Valandil - 8/31/2012, 12:40 PM
Doyle for Thor II is a MUST.
SageMode - 8/31/2012, 1:49 PM
Doyle's score for THOR was very underwhelming IMO.
Didnt really have that godly epicness i wouldve liked to hear.
mrteaspoon - 8/31/2012, 2:03 PM
Thor's soundtrack was extremely par. Not bad, but not memorable at all - like pretty much every Marvel film thus far.

I was hoping that Phase II would correct that, guess not if this is anything to go by.
avengers72 - 8/31/2012, 2:07 PM
Thor was one of the best scores.I think this score should be more deep shadows
LesJoliesChoses - 8/31/2012, 2:08 PM
Oh great, just another basic boring soundtrack. They should have gotten someone else.
ksommer - 8/31/2012, 2:14 PM
I'd rank them so far:
1. Avengers
2. Captain America
3. Thor
4. Hulk
5. Iron Man/Iron Man 2 (minus AC/DC stuff)
SunSp0t - 8/31/2012, 2:33 PM
The score for thor was what really made me love the film the opening song I believe its called "Sons of Odin" was so beautiful.

Best MCU score IMO.
Simonsonrules - 8/31/2012, 3:00 PM
Doyle is a must. I'm still in disbelief that we got a Branagh / Doyle team for Thor. It would be fantastic if Doyle returned for the second film, even without Branagh.
Ha1frican - 8/31/2012, 3:02 PM
@Ksommer my list goes like this
Iron Man 1 and 2
CA:TFA
TIH (the whole monster movie Frankenstein thing at the beginning was amazing IMO)
Thor
The Avengers
(To be clear i liked them all, but felt the Avengers one was underwhelming in spots)
Bodwulf - 8/31/2012, 3:17 PM
Will be good to keep the same feel for both films. i do not want it to be so different if feels disconnected to the first one.

^when the percussion kicks in during Son of Odin I get chills every time! SO good! Probably the soundtrack that stuck out the most and added to the movie to me. I distinctively and activel noticed the score in Thor more than I did in any other MCU's
chuckg313 - 8/31/2012, 4:08 PM
mixed feelings about this one...while i wasnt crazy about thors score i think he can do better
marvel72 - 8/31/2012, 4:28 PM
@ seejay

both of them pieces are very good,i can't wait to see what he comes up with for thor the dark world.
G3n3r4lzZoD9 - 8/31/2012, 4:35 PM
Yeah I agree the helmet would make him look more warbound.
JohnTom88 - 8/31/2012, 5:07 PM
Who's composing for Iron Man 3?
mgeoff88 - 8/31/2012, 5:14 PM
I thought the music in Thor was great. I hope Patrick Doyle returns.
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 8/31/2012, 5:20 PM
Damn!That concept art M3T4LLO posted above is both beautiful and badass.I'm sure Thor will get an costume upgrade in the next film.
ATrueHero1987 - 8/31/2012, 5:24 PM
Yes, I liked this score. I put it after the score in X-Men: First Class.
Harris1 - 8/31/2012, 9:38 PM
I work out to Thor's soundtrack. That's how awesome it is. The rest of the Marvel stuff outside the star spangled man is crap.
SageMode - 8/31/2012, 10:20 PM
Captain America's score was more epic IMO.
SageMode - 8/31/2012, 10:30 PM
UrbanKnight - 8/31/2012, 11:05 PM
I liked Thor's score but hope its improved.
Ace101 - 9/1/2012, 12:42 AM
I loved doyles score for thor. But like @UrbanKnight said lets hope he improves his talents on thor 2. needs to make the fight scene music a little more epic in my opinion.
Ace101 - 9/1/2012, 12:51 AM
Hopefully for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie they get John Williams, Michael Giacchino, or David Newman to score the music.
Ace101 - 9/1/2012, 1:00 AM
maybe even James Horner could even do the score for gotg
Ace101 - 9/1/2012, 1:18 AM
i would even love to see Taro Iwashiro compose the score for GotG i loved his work on Red Cliff
hartley07 - 9/1/2012, 3:42 AM
It never matters who does the music, as long as they keep the theme. John williams did the first 3 harry potters and they different guys to do everyone after. The theme stayed and every soundtrack sounds great. I was a little dissapointed when sylvestri said captain was the only guy with a theme and he couldnt write a theme for everyone else in Avengers cause it would be too onfusing and jumbled. RETARD. you dont need everyone's entire soundtrack from the other movies. If he wouldve played 5 seconds of the hulk soundtrack, 5 seconds of Doyle's thor, and 5 seconds of some original IM soundtrack, AND THATS IT, it would have been mindblowingly epic. It would have tied the movies together on a whole new level.
Jolt17 - 9/1/2012, 7:10 AM
While Alan Silvestri's "Captain America's March" and "The Avengers" are as epic as Doyle's "Yggdrasil" (hell, all Marvel movies lately have killer closing sequences AND scores), the latter's overall score were way better, IMO - Silvestri's were clearly lacking during the whole movie, while I really felt Doyle's. So...yeah, I'm glad to hear this. Plus, I want to hear some more tracks like "Yggdrasil"!
Jolt17 - 9/1/2012, 7:20 AM
My bad...it's "Earth to Asgard," according to Wikipedia. I'm not sure who told me "Yggdrasil" was the title. (Although it actually makes sense.)

Anyway, John Williams sure will do Guardians of the Galaxy good; but, I just can't see that happening.
dwaynejohnsonsfromundahcheesepanini - 9/1/2012, 9:35 AM
Cap had a traditional sounding score with many respectable classic moments. However the main theme, as well as it worked, reminded me too much of the Baseketball score/theme.

Doyle gave more of a "protools" sounding score. Utilization of multiple samples & plug ins. It was weak in parts, but overall the score for Thor did the job and they should rehire him. I think the "Earth to Asgard" portion matches the visuals perfectly and is the only part of any of the Marvel scores(aside from Cap's)that I can hum off the top my head.

Armstrong gave us a great score for the Hulk.
Gerrit - 9/1/2012, 3:35 PM
I wish he returns, Thor's score is the best from any MCU movie, followed by CATFA's score.
Toasty - 9/1/2012, 7:36 PM
Thor's Soundtrack is my favourite and personally i think the best of the MCU ( yes even ironman ) Doyle nailed the theme of the film perfectly and the rhythm for the end credits was [frick]ing astounding.

HE MUST COME BACK!
