As you can see from the Tweets above, The Walking Dead's Bear McCreary has confirmed that he will be providing the score for Marvel and ABC's upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the composer had this to say about how both the series and score revolves around the popular Agent Coulson. "He has a magnetic presence and an irresistible charm. Every time he’s onscreen, musical ideas are bursting into my brain. As a fan, I think he brings the same commanding presence that Edward James Olmos brought to Battlestar Galactica, although obviously with a totally different style. Centering the series around him was an inspired idea." As for what it's been like to work with Joss Whedon, he added: "Joss and I spoke at length about the music for S.H.I.E.L.D. in particular, about the challenge of creating a score that is big enough in its orchestral presence that it feels cinematic and feels at home in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It also must capture the intimate human characteristics that define this series. In editorial, it became clear that simply tracking in typical big “superhero movie” music wasn’t going to work. So Joss helped guide me to find a sound that lives a little in both worlds." More from McCreary can be found by clicking on the link below.

Awesome, his music for The Human Target was awesome, I think a big reason season 2 fell short was that he wasn't doing the music. His stuff is great, chest thumping, very Superhero. Hopefully he get's the nod to score Avengers too!
