In August 2014, directorsAnthony andJoe Russo announced that Jackman, who wrote the score forCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, would return to write the score forCivil War.[2] Jackman noted that theindustrial elements of the track "The Winter Soldier" fromthe soundtrack toThe Winter Soldier was a good indication of what the soundtrack toCivil War would sound like, though he cautioned it was "just a jumping off point since the Russos are looking for something new — similar with a twist."[3] However, Jackman noted that the score forCivil War is more symphonic and orchestral thanWinter Soldier.[4]
One additional song, "Left Hand Free" byalt-J, is featured in the movie, but was not included on the soundtrack album. It is played whenPeter Parker / Spider-Man is first introduced in the film, and during the end credit sequence.[6]
The theme song for the Japanese release of the film is a rerecorded version of "Itsuka Kitto" byEXILE ATSUSHI.[7][8][9]
