Most movie fans realize and understand that a great soundtrack is just as crucial to a movie as a great cast and plot. A carefully curated soundtrack can elevate an already great movie to new heights, creating anticipation, excitement, suspense and, in some cases, horror. If done correctly, audiences will remember the music as vividly as the movie itself.
Look Top gun And Danger zone– if nothing else, audiences remember the Kenny Loggins hit because it heightened the tension with the flying sequences and fit the movie perfectly. So when a producer and director puts together their movie, they have to decide which performers fit the style, flow, and setting of the movie. Not every singer will be a perfect match for every movie, no matter how talented the singer is.
But one of the most talented (and popular) singers on the planet right now, Rihanna, has already shown she’s got the chops to helm a Marvel blockbuster. The superstar came off a music hiatus to drop two singles for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, lift me up And Rebornin 2022 before displaying her talents at the 2023 Super Bowl.
With an excellent voice and incredible range, here are three upcoming Marvel movies that are a great fit for Rihanna’s style.
Spider-Man: About the Spider-Verse
Putting Rihanna on the soundtrack for the upcoming Spider-Man: About the Spider-Verse feels like a no brainer. The animated sequel sees the return of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), the most recent iteration of the 2018 teen superhero. In the Spider-Verse. The first film saw a huge soundtrack hit with Post Malone’s Sunflower, which blend perfectly into the film’s urban setting. It’s easy to imagine that if Post Malone had success with that sound and style, Rihanna could easily do the same.
And if the star doesn’t appear on this soundtrack, there’s still hope: About the Spider-Verse is part one of two films.
Sheet
Sheet is a reboot of the early 2000s movie franchise about a superhero who hunts and battles vampires and other creatures of the night. Originally played by Wesley Snipes, the Sheet reboot sees the main character played by Mahershala Ali. Rihanna is a solid choice for the Sheet soundtrack for two reasons – the first is her vocals and range. Most people would agree that Rihanna has a really beautiful voice, but what many forget is that her voice can also be deeply haunting, making her a perfect choice for this gritty reboot.
The other reason is her tempo and the melody she uses to sing over. Her special style makes this a match made in heaven; Rihanna’s voice would fit perfectly in the finale when Blade fights his main nemesis. By placing one of the star’s songs over such an important scene, moviegoers are bound to leave the movie theater with that song stuck in their heads.
Captain America: New World Order
The last movie that seems like a good fit is coming Captain America: New World Order. This fits perfectly, because something is changing with the Captain America. Steve Rogers is no longer the patriotic superhero; the role has been taken over by his best friend Sam Wilson (formerly known as the Falcon).
The New world order part of the title suggests that the changes are much bigger than just Captain America’s title, with outside forces at play. That leaves a perfect opportunity to introduce new players to this superhero soundtrack – and we’d love to see a Rihanna song or two for this sequel. There’s no question that Sam Wilson would definitely jam to Rihanna while saving the world, and it would suit both his character and the movie itself.
While it remains to be seen which artists will be selected for these movie soundtracks, it’s safe to say that the folks at Marvel would be doing the public – and themselves – a huge disservice if Rihanna wasn’t on at least one appearance.
