In June 2017,Ant-Man and the Wasp directorPeyton Reed confirmed thatChristophe Beck, who composed the score forAnt-Man, would return forAnt-Man and the Wasp.[1] Beck reprised his main theme fromAnt-Man, and also wrote a new one forHope van Dyne / Wasp that he wanted to be "high energy" and show that she is more certain of her abilities thanScott Lang / Ant-Man. When choosing between these themes for specific scenes throughout the film, Beck tried to choose the Wasp theme more often so there would be "enough newness in the score to feel like it's going new places, and isn't just some retread."[2]Hollywood Records andMarvel Music released the soundtrack album digitally on July 6, 2018.[3]
In April 2019, Mondo released a vinyl album (2XLP), featuring 14 previously unreleased bonus tracks. This album is to be the first of several Marvel soundtracks released on vinyl in limited numbers.Ant-Man and the Wasp's score, for example, only released 1,000 copies with original artwork and options on vinyl record album coloring.[4]
One additional song, "Come On Get Happy" byThe Partridge Family, is featured in the film, but was not included on the soundtrack album.[5]Two songs found in the film, "Everyday Is Like Sunday" byMorrissey, and "Spooky" byDusty Springfield, were not included on the soundtrack album.
The vinyl release of the soundtrack listed above features some 14 additional tracks not previously released with the main score. They can be found on Disc 2, Side B.
