Earlier today, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn broke new ground when he shared a Facebook Live video of the score for the movie being recorded in London. Tyler Bates is returning to work on the franchise after scoring the first instalment back in 2014, and while most people tend to remember that movie's soundtrack, it sounds like the score for the sequel will be very memorable.
That's evident from what we hear in the clip below. It instantly evokes memories of other cosmic franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek but is still clearly very much its own thing. To say it sounds epic would be an understatement, though where it will fit into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 obviously remains to be seen for now. What do you guys think of this first snippet of the follow-up's score?
Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Kurt Russell, the movie will be released on May 5th.
