Background

In August 2014, directors Anthony and Joe Russo announced that Jackman, who wrote the score for Captain America: The Winter Soldier , would return to write the score for Civil War. [2] Jackman noted that the industrial elements of the track "The Winter Soldier" from the soundtrack to The Winter Soldier was a good indication of what the soundtrack to Civil 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 for Civil War is more symphonic and orchestral than Winter Soldier. [4]
