"The Avengers" characters 'theme' songs

"The Avengers" characters 'theme' songs

My ideas for songs that could each be used as a 'theme' for each character.

What I did was, I came up with 2-3 songs that could be used as a 'theme' for each character. They'd most likely be used in promotional stuff, like TV trailers, but they could also be used in the film. Anyways, here we go. I'll start with Captain America.



Hero by Skillet


My Hero by The Foo Fighters


or Diamond Eyes by Shinedown


Now for Iron Man. This one was kind of easy.


Iron Man by Black Sabbath


Next is Thor.


ThunderStruck by AC/DC


or I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin


The Incredible Hulk. These were some fun ones.


Indestructible by Disturbed


Monster by Skillet


The Unforgiven by Metallica


or Sound of Madness by Shinedown


Now for Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..


Back in Black by AC/DC


or Remember the Name by Fort Minor


Black Widow. :)


Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix


or Fire Woman by The Cult


Next is Hawkeye


Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter


Bullet the Blue Sky by U2


or Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC


and just for good measure, Agent Coulson


Big Time by Peter Gabriel


Well that's all I have. Oh, and before people start complaining, this is not supposed to be a super serious fan fic. It's just for fun. Please take it easy on the harsh criticism that I've become so used to on this site. But i do appreciate feedback. So let me know if you like my choices!

loving the Skillet shout out man!
best choice is Monster for Hulk.
Iron Man was a no brainer of course.
but imo, you need to skirt away from the AC/DC themes because half of them were used in Iron Man.

and this is just my opinion, but you need something that stands out for each character. these songs kinda blend together into the hard core rock genre while The Avengers are known for being diverse. stretch the pallet a little.

Captain America needs something old school, not sure what, but maybe with a hint of patriotism.
Thor needs something a bit more operatic to ensure that the scope of the character is not lost in translation.
as for the Agents and Director of SHIELD, these guys are spies and assassins. espionage is their game. imo while your choice of songs are original they are limited to the same genre.

i am not being critical so i hope you don't take this as such. these are some really good songs but i do not think all of them belong to The Avengers.

btw,
did you have a theme picked out for the team as a whole???? i would like see your take on that.

I agree that Cap needs something more old school.

Something by Glenn Miller, perhaps. It's a bit meta, but Glenn Miller was also a US military officer that went missing near the English channel islands late in the war.

Or perhaps The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash.

the song choices are good but Cap needs some thing more old school with hints of patriotism and Thor needs an epic opera coz the dudes epic.

@PaulRom: yeah, Skillet is my 2nd favorite too, right behind U2.

@everyone else: I really like the idea for older music for Cap, it's just hard to find older music that doesn't sound like it's from a musical. but I'll do some research and see what I can find and hopefully update this. and the same for Thor. thanks.

@Wadey09: for the team, I also thought of Hero, which would probably work better. One thing I would love to see in the movie (if the Skrulls are the villains) is have the team walk out of the Hellicarrier and look up into the sky and see a bunch of Skrull warships. just as this happens, Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine plays. the Avengers then fight hundreds of Skrulls for about 5 minutes while the song plays. that would be cool.

A perfect song for Thor would be King of Kings by Motorhead, that song describes Thor very well, you should listen to it

The immigrant song by led Zepplin is perfect for Thor!

But King of Kings by Motorhead is more perfect for Thor, it would suit Thor perfectly

Iron Man definitely Thunderstruck by AC/DC, they definitely had the right song for Iron Man by giving him Thunderstruck

For Hulk Monster is the perfect song

For Cap, the perfect song for Captain America would be Hero by Skillet


For Hawkeye, the perfect song for him would be You Could Be Mine by Guns N Roses
