Comic-Con - Musical Anatomy of a Superhero featuring Ant-Man, Avengers, Mad Max & More

From the ominous horns of Jaws signaling fear, to the inspiring theme for Star Wars, music has always been an important supporting character in movies.

Leading Hollywood Film & TV composers offer a behind the scenes look at the music of today’s biggest superhero film and TV projects with unreleased film clips and never before heard music.

Now in its third year, the panel has become a Comic-Con favorite that debuts film and TV clips from upcoming projects. Composers discuss collaborating with the directors and the challenges involved in telling a story with music. The panelists emphasize the integral nature that music plays within TV shows and movies. The panel is produced by Costa Communications and sponsored by ASCAP.
