Avengers: Endgame was the culmination of so many factors that happened to fit perfectly. The action, plot, and actor were the top three that helped the film resonate so much with audience members and bring it to the top of the box-office. The directors and writers’ ability to work in conjunction with one another to reach a common goal was perfectly in sync that it’s astonishing. Another factor that worked so perfectly in Avengers: Endgame is the music and fans have noticed. The Russo Brothers are here to tell us why they chose the music that fans heard and connected with in Endgame.
The duo’s pick for musical choices or cues came off as conventional and unconventional at the same time. Sure, there were heroic themes in the movies—like the heroes gearing up for a mission—or some of the musical themes took a step back into history like ‘Dear Mr. Fantasy’ by Traffic.
While speaking to Comicbook.com, the Russo Brothers spoke on opening Endgame with the song from Traffic during the Marvel Fanfare opening logo. Here’s what Joe Russo had to say:
“Now this tune was resonant for a lot of factors. We seemed like it was right tonally. We assumed that the lyrics were ideal for Marvel. Also, what it’s done and also the assumptions from huge popular culture films.”
Anthony Russo chimes in:
“This was the climactic film of the 22-movie run. It was nice to talk about our experience of these flicks.”
The Russo continued by talking about the musical adjustment in Endgame that set it apart from Avengers: Infinity War and how it took a lot of effort. Anthony is the first to tackle the topic:
“We simulated the truth that it made points feel different, especially at that point in the flick. It was a great selection. As well as how stood in contrast to Infinity War, it was essential again. ‘Cause we’re trying to allow people to know right away that this is a different story.”
Joe jumps in:
“Conveyed a different perspective in a different tone. Therefore that does identify it at once.”
