SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK), the latest installment in the Spider-Man franchise, composed by MICHAEL GIACCHINO is available everywhere now. The album returns the Oscar®, GRAMMY® and Emmy® Award-winning composer to the franchise, following his previous work on 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. For the soundtrack, Giacchino continues to build on the sonic landscape he established with the first two films while encompassing new themes, resulting in an expansive score befitting the film’s Multiverse setting. Based on the MARVEL comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: No Way Home is now playing exclusively in movie theaters.
The film is directed by Jon Watts, written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers, based on the MARVEL Comic Books. Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal are producers and Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, JoAnn Perritano, Rachel O’Connor, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are executive producers. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau with Marisa Tomei.
Composer Michael Giacchino has credits that feature some of the most popular and acclaimed film projects in recent history, including The Incredibles, Coco, Jojo Rabbit, Ratatouille, Star Trek, Jurassic World, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Spider Man: Homecoming and War for the Planet of the Apes. Giacchino’s 2009 score for the Pixar hit Up earned him an Oscar®, a Golden Globe®, the BAFTA, the Broadcast Film Critics' Choice Award and two GRAMMY® Awards.
Giacchino studied filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. After college, he landed a marketing job at Disney and began studies in music composition, first at Juilliard, and then at UCLA. He moved from marketing to producing in the newly formed Disney Interactive Division where he had the opportunity to write music for video games. After moving to DreamWorks Interactive, he was asked to score the temp track for the video game adaptation of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Subsequently, Steven Spielberg hired him as the composer and it became the first PlayStation game to have a live orchestral score, recorded with members of the Seattle Symphony. Giacchino went on to score numerous video games including Spielberg’s Medal of Honor series. His upcoming film projects include The Batman, and Jurassic World: Dominion.
