Hans Zimmer Doesn't Want To Join the MCU — Honestly, I Can't Blame Him

Except for John Williams, it's hard for a film composer to reach household name status, but it's safe to proclaim that Hans Zimmerhas successfully done so. After being a steady film composer in the 1980s and 1990s, working on films from a variety of genres, including Rain Man, True Romance, The Lion King, The Thin Red Line, and Gladiator, Zimmer ostensibly became the soundtrack for the archetypal modern blockbusters thanks to his work on most of Christopher Nolan's films, notably The Dark Knight trilogy, and revolutionizing the art of film scores for Denis Villeneuve's Duneseries. Someone of his caliber could have elevated the longest-running franchise of the last 20 years — the Marvel Cinematic Universe — into something more epic, but he has his eyes set elsewhere. To be completely honest, I don't blame him, as even he has outshined the scope of the MCU.
