Composer Laura Karpman continues to redefine the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) soundscape with her latest work on Captain America: Brave New World and The Marvels. Known for her ability to capture every emotion through music, Karpman praises Marvel Studios for its deep appreciation of musical storytelling.
Karpman created a cosmic soundscape for The Marvels using “space junk” to reflect the film’s intergalactic setting. In contrast, Captain America: Brave New World features unique sounds like ticking wind-up toys. All designed to build suspense for what she describes as a political thriller. The score combines modern beats and synthesizers with classic tones, offering a contemporary take on Sam Wilson’s Captain America. All while incorporating New Orleans drumline rhythms that pay tribute to the character’s roots.
Marvel’s attentive fan base drives Karpman to embed subtle musical themes, knowing fans will catch every detail. Her creative approach ensures each score feels fresh, engaging, and deeply connected to the characters’ journeys.
