Black Widow is using this downtime to replace its composer

When Black Widow does finally hit theaters (or Disney+, which doesn’t seem like such a crazy idea), it will do so with an entirely different score. Film Music Reporter, which reports on music in film (obviously, you lunkheads), reveals that Marvel is scrapping the original Black Widow score from Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat. His score will be replaced by a new one from Scottish composer Lorne Balfe, whose recent credits include Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The Lego Batman Movie, and another Scarlett Johansson blockbuster (the problematic one). Balfe has collaborated with Hans Zimmer on numerous scores, providing additional music for films like Inception and The Dark Knight, and he worked with Ramin Djawadi on the score for Iron Man, so he has at least some familiarity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
