For Logan then, which is being marketed as a desolate, violent, and dark post-apocalyptic thriller, it’s hard to think of a more perfect musical combination.
At the same time, Beltrami is more than equipped to take on Logan‘s score, after working with Mangold specifically multiple times before, on both The Wolverine and 3:10 to Yuma.
The marketing campaign for Logan has been calculated and precise, with a restraint on Mangold, Jackman, and the studio’s part that isn’t seen very often when it comes to high-profile films like these.
This would have been Martinez’s first comic book film, after decades worth of solid, diverse work, though most may know him for his atmospheric, chilling scores in director Nicolas Winding Refn’s films from the past few years.
