The Marvel Cinematic Universe (known better as the 'MCU') is Marvel Studios' shared cinematic universe spanning across 25 projects for the last 13 years, overseen by its president, Kevin Feige. The MCU has brought in directors such as The Russo brothers, Ryan Coogler, Jon Watts, and others to create films and series based off the fictional characters in Marvel Comics history.
The 25 musical scores of the MCU have been composed by 14 different composers, with 6 composers returning for multiple MCU projects. For each project, the composer has written multiple themes and motifs for various characters, places, objects and ideas. A common criticism the MCU's musical scores have received from fans is its lack of musical continuity and reuse of themes. Although its continuity has been criticized, 17 out of the 25 MCU projects have referenced previous themes in the MCU.
The MCU's music department has been overseen by Dave Jordan, the MCU's Music Supervisor, for every project in the MCU since Iron Man.
All of the MCU's scores are primarily orchestral, while some films such as Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther have brought in elements such as synthesizers and varying African instruments such as the Talking Drum.
