In August 2014, directors Anthony and Joe Russo announced that Jackman, who wrote the score for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, would return to write the score for Civil War.[2] Jackman noted that the industrial elements of the track "The Winter Soldier" from the soundtrack to The Winter Soldier was a good indication of what the soundtrack to Civil War would sound like, though he cautioned it was "just a jumping off point since the Russos are looking for something new — similar with a twist."[3] However, Jackman noted that the score for Civil War is more symphonic and orchestral than Winter Soldier.[4]
One additional song, "Left Hand Free" by alt-J, is featured in the movie, but was not included on the soundtrack album. It is played when Peter Parker / Spider-Man is first introduced in the film, and during the end credit sequence.[6]
