Marvel Television Musical Cameos

Starting on Disney+ in 2021, there have been several Marvel Studios television series that are connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Alongside Beck's score, we get television pastiche songs and WandaVision theme by Kristin Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez.  In the show, we also hear Doctor Strange Theme by Michael Giacchino and Avengers Theme by Alan Silvestri.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)

Henry Jackman naturally continued to use his Captain America, Falcon, Winter Soldier and Zemo themes from Captain America: Civil War and The Winter Soldier.  We also get a snippet from Black Panther Score by Ludwig Göransson and a modernized version of "The Star-Spangled Man" by Alan Menken and David Zippel.

While showing flashbacks of Loki's past, we hear cues from The Avengers by Alan Silvestri.
