Ludwig Goransson, who did the scores for Ryan Coogler’s “Creed” and “Black Panther” along with Sony’s “Venom,” has come onboard to do the score for the Disney+ live-action “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian” at Lucasfilm.
Pedro Pascal will star as a lone Mandalorian gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy and will be joined by Gina Carano, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Carl Weathers, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte.
In a statement, Goransson says: “Words fail to express how surreal and humbling it feels to be invited into the Star Wars universe. 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.”
Jon Favreau penned and executive produces the series which boasts episodes helmed by Dave Filoni, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa, Bryce Dallas Howard and Taika Waititi. Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson also executive produce.
