2023 film score by Christophe Beck
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
The original score is composed by Christophe Beck, in his maiden collaboration with David F. Sandberg. Michael Paraskevas, who had assisted Beck in composing the score for the Marvel miniseries Hawkeye (2021), wrote additional music for this film. Beck and Paraskevas replaced Benjamin Wallfisch, Sandberg's norm collaborator, who scored for the first film, as the latter could not return due to scheduling conflicts due to his commitments on The Flash. Sandberg chose Beck as "he was very much well versed with the universe of superheroes" had scored several films and television series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), including the Ant-Man films. He further gave freedom to explore the textures to create the music and did not want him to follow the elements from the first film, so that he could work on new sounds to make the film sonically beautiful. He began scoring for the film by June 2022. A single titled "Shazam! Fury of the Gods (Main Title Theme)" was released as a digital single by WaterTower Music on February 23, 2023, and the soundtrack album was released on March 10.

Jonathan Broxton wrote "What's true is that Christophe Beck and his team have written an earnest, fitting, tonally appropriate score for Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which hits all the right buttons, occasionally soars, and will certainly appeal to fans of the franchise in general and this film in particular, but also somehow it feels curiously subdued and run of the mill, and is likely destined to get lost in 2023's over-crowded superhero extravaganza market." Shane Romanchick of Collider mentioned that the flavor of the score is inspired by John Williams' score — including the main title theme — for Richard Donner's Superman (1978). He further added, in few themes, "there's a mythical weight to the score that feels appropriate for this kind of gods and monsters story involving dragons, unicorns, and revenge seeking Demigods". Filmtracks.com wrote "For most people, Shazam! Fury of the Gods will sound like a two-theme score, and that observation is largely correct. But Beck potentially frustrates by saving his most engaging melodic ideas for secondary themes that never gain enough traction in the work to satisfy. The general musical narrative of the two major themes is fine, but their intermingling is not as adept as one might hope during scenes of direct conflict."
