Lucasfilm has announced that composer Ludwig Goransson (Black Panther, Venom) is set to score the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
“Words fail to express how surreal and humbling it feels to be invited into the Star Wars universe,” said Goransson. “I am deeply grateful to Jon Favreau and Disney for this opportunity and to John Williams for raising the bar so high with his iconic, intrepid scores — they will never be matched. In these next months I hope to honor the tradition of Star Wars’ musical landscape while propelling The Mandalorian into new and unchartered territory. And I will try to remember that there is no try.”
In addition to this year’s two superhero blockbusters, Goransson’s other credits include Fruitvale Station, Creed and Creed II.
