I loved his Captain America stuff so much, I bought a few tracks via iTunes back in 2011. I'd listen to the themes when doing laundry or driving to work in the morning.We are pleased to announce that Alan is slated to score the Marvel films "Avengers: Infinity War - Part I and Part II"
These films are scheduled for release in May of 2018 and May of 2019.
"Captain America: The First Avenger" Theme in concert! With Composer Alan Silvestri.

My recollection on Avengers 1 is Marvel called in Silvestri extremely late, and he had little time to work on the movie. I still liked the music in that more than in most other Marvel Studios films. Seems like this time they're calling him in relatively early, hopefully a good thing.
While I liked the Winter Soldier's soundtrack (by Alan Tyler), it wasn't something I had much desire to listen to outside the movie. I loved Civil War but the music doesn't really stand out in my mind. That's actually per Marvel's preferences, they're not really into John Williams/James Horner type classic, memorable movie music and character themes per se. Guess they missed Silvestri though. I think we do hear cues to his Captain 1 theme in the other two films a bit.
While he's scored a zillion movies since the mid 1980s (http://www.alansilvestri.com/filmograph ... d=noscript), I suspect he'll always be tagged as the Back to the Future guy, even if he also scored many other memorable movies (Romancing the Stone, Predator, The Abyss, Forrest Gump, Cast Away etc.). Plenty of turkeys too.
As far as the Infinity War movies, well, the Russo Brothers are going to need a vacation in a few years.
