Am I hearing things or is Bear's SHIELD theme in "Breaking and Entering"? Haven't seen the film and I don't watch SHIELD, but one or more characters from the television series have cameos in the film so I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, I just saw the movie. Unless it was a case of blink and you'll miss them, I don't remember seeing any Agents of Shield personnel in Age of Ultron. BTW, a snippet of Elfman's "theme" replaces Tyler's Marvel fanfare and logo at the beginning of the picture. MaxB

It`s interesting how much Whedon always praises the composer and his music in the soundtrack liner notes (he wrote some of the most composer praising liner notes on the soundtrack albums of Serenity and The Avengers) and then for his next project he always uses a different composer.

To be honest that theme is so closely related to Silvestri I considered it more like an extension of his adaptation rather than a "new" theme. I understand, probably because you are so familiar with Silvestri's theme. Or those four notes of it. Without being preoccupied by that, maybe that would be different. I really think this Elfman theme, also with that interpolation of Silvestri's iconic theme, is strong and brillantly done. In particular considering the rather mediocre landscape of nowadays thematic writing, in terms of serving the dramatic development the new theme also works great, similar concept to Silvestri's in the first film. The mix is terrible btw, most of the action cues buried in sound effects, worse than usual. And there is so much music tracked. Which is awkward, because those music was connected to special scenes in the first one, capturing the emotions there. Here different emotions would have been necessary. And obviously for Whedon it is not singular how the pictures and the music are married, just interchangeable.

And to boot, the most memorable music that stood out in the initial action sequence was the user of Silvestri's "Black Widow" theme. All in all, Silvestri is well represented in this film. I think ultimately, with Tyler's back-end deal and Elfman's fee for "saving the day" they probably would have saved money by trying to get Silvestri again to avoid the multiple composer mess.
