Yeah, yeah, the news about a possible John Debney Iron Man 2 score has been out for quite some time now, but  now it’s official, according to the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency and Upcoming Film Scores.  Debney’s extensive and eclectic resumé, posted on the  agency’s web site, lists Iron Man 2 as a current project.  Great news for Debney and for the film.  Debney’s style is a big change from the previous film’s rock influenced score, composed by Ramin Djawadi.  Although, Debney’s score for The Replacements does have a bit of an Iron Man quality to it.  Jon Favreau is set to direct the sequel and has previously worked with Debney on the films Elf and Zathura.

I actually enjoyed the first film and I’m secretly happy to see  Scarlett Johansson join the cast.  Iron Man 2 is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release.
