Taylor's original choice of composer was Carter Burwell who didn't seem the most natural of choices, so it wasn't entirely a surprise when he departed the project (
seemingly not the director's choice, but the studio's); a very capable replacement was hired in the form of Brian Tyler, who also scored the previous film in the
franchise, Iron Man 3, and just maybe he will become the «house composer» for this series, which has so far failed to
establish any kind of distinctive musical identity.
