Dark Phoenix (soundtrack)

The Dark Phoenix soundtrack is the musical score composed by Hans Zimmer for the 2019 superhero film Dark Phoenix, a 20th Century Fox production based on the Marvel Comics X-Men characters. This marked Zimmer's return to superhero film scoring after a significant break, his previous work being The Dark Knight Rises in 2012.

The score deviates somewhat from traditional superhero film soundtracks, leaning more heavily into emotional and character-driven themes rather than bombastic action cues. Zimmer employed a choir and synthesizers to create a soundscape that reflects the inner turmoil of Jean Grey as she struggles with the Phoenix Force. The music aims to portray Jean's power, vulnerability, and the destructive potential of her abilities.

The soundtrack was released digitally and physically, often alongside the film's theatrical release. It includes tracks with titles reflecting key scenes and emotional states of the characters within the film, such as "Gap," "Frameshift," and "Dark Phoenix."
