That sample sounds really good! If this is the sound he's moving toward with his post-superhero career, I'll be a happy listener.

So why was George Fenton not asked to come back and score this? Where is he?

So depressing to read that quote about "how hip the youth of today are for those Swingin' Zimmin' Hans Zimmer tunes!" from a man whose opinion I otherwise hold very dear.
I now believe with true earnest that Zimmer has destroyed the art form of finely-crafted orchestral musicianship in film, totally and utterly, by intimating upon the industry that ANYONE can be a "composer" whether you bare any actual musical proficiency or not.
You don't need to exemplify any craft through your musical ideation - melodic aptitude, orchestrational finesse, harmonic intelligence, contrapuntal ideas? None of that boring old crap!
Nope! Just get a bunch of recent Berkeley or USC grads to "intern" for you, have 'em drop some sick drone beds, lay dow a few dope "awe and wonder" chords atop that (be sure to phrase all voices together so there's no implied counterpoint), tell 'em to smash that ostinato button, modulate a key here and there so there's a sense it's all going somewhere (even though it isn't) - And done! Sit back and let those royalty checks come pouring in!
Oh, and remember to play some sick guitar riffs at Coachella now and then to show the hip youth how you're not like those moldy, boring ol' composers in powdered wigs that grandpa listens to - No no no, you're a cool cosmopolitan dude who's in touch with the youth of today!
It's easy, bro! Anyone can do it!

The quote from Sir David Attenborough is taken out of context. The context is a BBC interview in which he provides his reaction to Blue Planet II's superior popularity over The X Factor among younger viewers). In other words, he is stating what has been told to him that Hans Zimmer's music has proven to be popular among the younger set. He is not stating that this was the reason for Hans Zimmer's initial selection.
