Details are gradually beginning to come to light about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn’s latest (and seemingly final) chapter in the story of the Marvel misfits. In addition to the news that Will Poulter has been cast as Adam Warlock, it was revealed that composer Tyler Bates, who worked on the music for the first two Guardians films, would not be returning for the third installment. Now, we have a bit of an indication of who will be composing Vol. 3’s score — and it’s a name fans will recognize. Gunn took to Twitter on Saturday to reveal that John Murphy, who recently composed the music for Gunn’s DC film The Suicide Squad, will be working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He also teased that Murphy’s work on the film is already “incredible”, and that one track made Gunn’s sister-in-law “burst into tears.”
Haha, @John___Murphy is tops. Can’t wait for you all to hear the score he’s working on for #GotGVol3 - we’ve already got a lot of incredible cues recorded to play while filming. Two days ago I played one for my sister-in-law @tashalitas & she burst into tears just hearing it. https://t.co/hdJKXraLsW
