Composer Michael Giacchino posts a snippet of music from Spider-Man: Homecoming

Composer Michael Giacchino posts a sample of his Spider-Man: Homecoming score.

As of now, Spider-Man: Homecoming is pretty much putting on the final polish for its release in July. And that means adding in the one thing that really gives a film its soul—the musical score. Composer Michael Giacchino recently posted a sample of a scoring session, and avid fans may find the tune to be a bit familiar.

Do you know where it’s from? Some younger listeners may not realize it, but it’s the tune to the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon. Check out the original opening theme:

• Masters of the Universe reboot’s new domain could be at Amazon’s Prime Video Streamer
• James Gunn gives interesting update of Superman and Supergirl movies at DC Studios

The score and the overall tone of the film is definitely going in the direction of fun—which is the spirit of Spider-Man himself. Being a lighthearted, optimistic character, an homage to the cheesy cartoon of a bygone era is a perfect move.

It’s unknown if this will be the main theme, but I have a feeling Giacchino has something epic planned. The sample is just a tease of things to come. Like they say, “Save the best for last.” The wait may be a bit torturous, but we won’t have to wait very long. In a little more than a month and a half, we can hear the score for ourselves when Spider-Man: Homecoming is released to theaters.
