Dark Phoenix

Evan Peters stated in January 2018 that Hans Zimmer was composing the score for the film, despite Zimmer having said in March 2016 that he would not score another superhero film following his experience working on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Zimmer later explained that in conversations with director Ron Howard he was convinced to not keep a "blanket" view and to focus on waiting for the right story rather than avoiding an entire genre. When Kinberg approached him at a concert to talk about his vision for Dark Phoenix, Zimmer realized that the story was one that he wanted to help tell and that the film would be an opportunity to do something that he had always wanted to try in a film score, so he decided to join the production.

On May 23, 2019, the track "Extraordinary Being" by Emeli Sandé was released as the official soundtrack. The soundtrack was released digitally on June 7th.
