Composer Michael Giacchino talks about scoring The Fantastic Four: First Steps in a recent interview. Giacchino was announced as the composer of the movies score at SDCC. It’s also with pointing out that Giacchino is also the person who scored The Incredibles. That movie is often described as being the best Fantastic Four movie to date, despite not having anything to do with Marvel.
Speaking with Nerd Reactor, Giacchino was asked about the fact he also scored The Incredibles. Relevant quote transcript below.
“They’re similar and different in many, many ways,” Giacchino opined. “There’s definitely room for both in the world. Those are two where I’ll have my feet in both of those. The challenge for me is how do I differentiate them? Because you don’t want them to just be the same thing. You want them to be different. And I think what Matt Shakman, who is directing The Fantastic Four, is bringing so the table is very fresh, very fun, very different. Even on the outside, you go all, ‘this is this and this is that.’ Well, they’re not, and they’re very different, and very unique in different ways. I’m really excited to work on that project and it’s going to be a fun one for sure.”

The Incredibles is a good movie, but it’s not as good as Fantastic Four can be when it works well. Much as I think it’s one of Pixar’s best movies, it’s still a kid focused cartoon. I think they are different beasts and tonally there are some stark differences. Especially given this movie is eventually getting to Galactus.
Either way, Giacchino is one of the best and I’m sure he’ll nail this one too.
