This course explores the music and its role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We will focus on: themes of genre hybridity, intertextuality, orchestration, emotional storytelling; how film scores shape character, narrative, and identity. Students will engage with foundational readings in film music theory and will develop critical listening skills through score analysis and discussions. This course is divided into two parts (the “Infinity Saga” and selected “Multiverse Saga” films up to 2023).
