Composer Bobby Tahouri, who’s worked on some of the biggest games of the past decade (“Rise of the Tomb Raider” and “Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark” among them), will score the music for the new “Marvel’s Avengers” game.

Tahouri crafted original music for the Avengers, creating an epic and sweeping score for the loved chapter of the franchise. The game, which integrates an original story, will allow for single or multi-player mode (up to four players), assembling a group of heroes to defend the Earth from danger.

“What made composing for ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ so special is that I got to write music for so many unique superheroes, all in one game,” Tahouri tells Variety. “After coming up with one Avengers theme, I designed a palette of sounds and instruments specific to each superhero.”

The composer reveals that his favorite Avenger to score for was Iron Man.

Four guys, playing every horror stereotype from nerd to jock in one improbable group of friends, travel with the only girlfriend in the group (Tammin Sursok). After a gory run-in with a flock of crows, the group enters a corn maze that’s home to all kinds of nasty in the form of scarecrows. There are jumps galore, along with an ample dose of blood splattering on corn husks.

Wes Chatham gives a surprisingly engaging performance as the dumb jock turned valiant hero, and everyone has plenty of close-ups to scream in. The acting and even directing take a backseat,...
