BLACK PANTHER Composer Ludwig Göransson Will Score THE MANDALORIAN

It looks like The Mandalorian is going to have an amazing score. StarWars.com has announced that Ludwig Göransson, composer for Black Panther, Creed, Creed II, Venom, and more, will be composing the score for the first live-action Star Wars series. Göransson’s work on Black Panther was recently announced to be on the Oscar shortlist for Best Original Score.

In addition to film and television scores, Göransson is also a record producer who was recently nominated for three Grammys for his work on the most recent Childish Gambino album.

In a statement, Göransson had this to say about joining The Mandalorian:

“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.”

The Mandalorian is set to premiere on Disney+, but no exact dates have been announced. We do know that the service is set to launch towards the end of 2019 and the series is currently in production. There is a chance Disney will release the series when Disney+ launches.
