Captain America: Civil War (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2016 action‑superhero film Captain America: Civil War, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The original score was composed by Henry Jackman, an English composer known for X‑Men: First Class, Big Hero 6, and Wreck‑It Ralph. Jackman’s music for the film emphasizes a more symphonic and orchestral approach than his previous Winter Soldier score, blending traditional Marvel heroic brass with tense rhythmic and textural elements that reflect the film’s narrative conflict and ensemble cast.
The soundtrack album was released on May 6, 2016 via Hollywood Records and Marvel Music. It contains 21 tracks of original score with a total runtime of approximately 69 minutes and is available on major platforms including Apple Music, Bandcamp, CD, and digital formats.
Jackman’s score alternates between urgent, driving action cues and more expansive, thematic material that underlines character interactions and the central ideological clash. The orchestration favors strings and brass for dramatic momentum, with percussion and occasional electronic accents enhancing tension during key sequences.
The film also includes licensed music not present on the official score album, such as “Left Hand Free” by alt‑J, heard during a key character introduction.
