Son Lux Composers Leave MCU Behind for Secret New Movie Starring Mahershala Ali

In contrast to the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts* has distinguished itself partly due to the contributions of Son Lux composers, who have recently unveiled their upcoming project. These Academy Award-nominated musicians caught some viewers off guard when they followed up their 2023 Best Picture indie winner with the 36th MCU film, and their next venture is equally intriguing. During the latest episode of Score: The Podcast, the composers shared details about their current work, following up on Score: A Film Music Documentary by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader.

Score: The Podcast brings you an exclusive sneak peek where composers Son Lux discuss their upcoming project, having recently worked on a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Their next venture is scoring the movie “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,” penned by Bassam Tariq and set to be directed by him as well. Interestingly, Tariq and Mahershala Ali, who will star in this film, were previously attached to bring the MCU’s Blade to the big screen, although there seems to be uncertainty surrounding that project now as Tariq is no longer involved. Catch the clip and tune into Son Lux on Score: The Podcast available on YouTube and various digital platforms.

Why Son Lux Is An Exciting Addition To Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother After Thunderbolts*

Not much information is available about the upcoming movie titled “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother” beyond its director and star-studded cast, which includes John Cho (known for the Harold & Kumar films), Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian), Tramell Tillman (Severance), and Tiffany Boone (Mufasa: The Lion King). This lineup of talent is promising, and the fact that the composers behind “Everything Everywhere all at Once” are considering scoring the film is also a positive sign. Although “Thunderbolts* ” will be only the second movie scored by this band, they have an impressive track record of choosing intricate and engaging projects.

As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled by the prospect of Son Lux’s music playing a significant role in “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.” In an upcoming interview with ScreenRant for the highly-anticipated “Thunderbolts” (which ScreenRant rated a stellar 8/10), founding member Ryan Lott shared that they had a “formative experience on the ground level” for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Essentially, they were given a script and no other guidelines, similar to their work on “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” If the same approach is taken with “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,” Son Lux’s creative prowess could shape the movie in unforeseen ways, making it an even more captivating experience for us all.

Without a doubt, Son Lux being selected for Tariq’s upcoming film is an exhilarating choice, primarily due to their exceptional music. Unlike most composers, Son Lux, comprising of Lott, Rafiq Bhatia, and Ian Chang, create scores that are distinctively different. This uniqueness stems from the innovative creative dynamic among them, which introduces fresh sounds and unorthodox choices to cinematic drama. As anticipation builds for Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, one query continues to linger: who will be at the helm of Blade?
