Hollywood Records is set to release 
The Fantastic Four: First Steps Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on all major music platforms today, July 18. The soundtrack features an original score by Academy®, Emmy®, and Grammy® Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino (“UP,” “Incredibles,” “Coco,” “Lost”). Giacchino’s score augments the strikingly unique world of the film with buoyant orchestrations (recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a 101-piece orchestra and 100-piece choir), as well as creating a vintage vibe using classic synths including the ARP 2600 and Mellotron.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
The film opens only in theaters July 25.
Giacchino comments on how his score reflects and enhances the film’s setting in the production notes: “That whole retro-future spirit is baked into the movie, and the score leans into it in a big way — especially early on. You’ll hear vintage synths, space-age percussion, big melodic brass—textures that nod to that era’s optimism about science and the unknown. But it’s always grounded in the characters. It’s not just style for style’s sake — it’s emotional.”
Adds director Matt Shakman: “From humor to heart to adrenaline-fueled action, there’s nothing he can’t do. His work on ‘Fantastic Four’ is gorgeous from start to finish. He poured his soul into creating a truly memorable and soaring score.”
Pre-order The Fantastic Four: First Steps Original Motion Picture Soundtrack vinyl album available this fall.
