X-Men: Apocalypse (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse, based on the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics, and is the seventh mainline installment in the X-Men film series and the seventh installment overall. Directed and produced by Bryan Singer, the film score is composed by his regular collaborator, composer-editor John Ottman, being the first to score more than one film in the X-Men film series, having previously scored X2 (2003) and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).

Development

On March 2, 2015, it was announced that John Ottman, who composed the scores for X2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past, would return to write and compose the score for Apocalypse. On May 20, 2016, the official soundtrack was released as a digital download. In addition to Ottman's score, the film features a remix of the second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's seventh symphony entitled "Beethoven Havok" and two songs contemporary to the film's 1983 setting, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics and "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica.[1]
