THE LEGO MOVIE Composer Mark Mothersbaugh Set To Score Marvel's THOR: RAGNAROK
After working with Patrick Doyle on the first film and Brian Tyler on the second, Marvel is switching things up again for Thor: Ragnarok by enlisting Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh to compose the score.
A few days back, news broke that Mark Mothersbaugh had signed on to score Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok, which is currently filming in Australia with Taika Waititi (Hunt For The Wilderpeople) at the helm. Chris Hemsworth & Tom Hiddleston are set to return as Thor & Loki and they'll be joined by 3x Academy Award-nominee Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and 2x Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett as the villainous Hela.
He'll be the latest composer to tackle the God of Thunder, following Patrick Doyle & Brian Tyler, who composed the scores for the first two installments, respectively.
Mothersbaugh is of course best known as the lead singer, co-founder, & keyboardist of the New Wave band Devo. His prominent film scores include Happy Gilmore, The Rugrats Movie (and sequels), Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (1 & 2), 21 Jump Street (1 & 2), Hotel Transylvania (1 & 2), The Lego Movie, Pitch Perfect 2, and Vacation.
