Overview

• The soundtrack is being recorded over roughly a week in Studio 1 at Abbey Road in London ahead of the film’s July 2, 2025 release.
• More than 100 musicians are contributing to Alexandre Desplat’s score, which aims to refresh the franchise’s sound.
• Desplat confronted a “moment of panic” as he took on the legacy of John Williams before carving out his own musical identity.
• Recording sessions feature segmented orchestral takes and real-time feedback, with Desplat’s wife Dominique Lemonnier (Solrey) advising from the control room.
• Director Gareth Edwards has hailed the music for elevating the picture and keeping the creative team inspired throughout the recording process.
