After scoring a number of films for acclaimed directors Nicolas Winding Refn & Steven Soderbergh over the years, composer Cliff Martinez is ready to embark on a whole new kind of challenge in the world of comic book movies.

Earlier today, Film Music Reporter learned that Martinez has signed on to score James Mangold's upcoming Wolverine sequel, which stars the Academy Award-nominated Hugh Jackman in his final outing as the fan-favorite hero. He'll take over from Marco Beltrami, who scored 2013's The Wolverine. Details on the film's plot are being kept under lock-and-key, but it's been heavily rumored that the film could possibly be a loose adaptation of the Old Man Logan and/or Death of Wolverine storylines. Principal photography is currently underway in New Orleans.

Martinez is best known for his work on over ten different Soderbergh projects for film and television, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape, King of the Hill, Traffic, Contagion, and The Knick. He also recently scored Drive and The Neon Demon for Winding Refn, Spring Breakers for Harmoney Korine, and The Normal Heart for Ryan Murphy. His work can be heard next in the Jackie Chan/Pierce Brosnan-starrer The Foreigner.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

An untitled Wolverine film (also known as Wolverine 3 and Wolverine III) is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Wolverine. It is intended to be the sequel to 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine and 2013's The Wolverine, and is the tenth installment in the X-Men film series.

The Wolverine 3 will feature: Director: James Mangold
Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine
Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/Professor X
Boyd Holbrook in an undisclosed role
Richard E. Grant in an undisclosed role
Stephen Merchant in an undisclosed role
Eriq La Salle in an undisclosed role
Elise Neal in an undisclosed role
Elizabeth Rodriguez in an undisclosed role

The Wolverine 3 hits theaters March 3, 2017

BatmanHeisenberg - 7/1/2016, 2:12 PM Say what you will about the X-Men movies (and trust me, LOTS of valid complaints can be layed against them) Jackman's Wolverine, while not wholly comic accurate, is one of the best CBM performances to date. Jackman is a legend. Login to report abuse
