The Incredible Hulk (Original Motion Picture Score) accompanies the 2008 Marvel Studios film The Incredible Hulk, directed by Louis Leterrier. The original score was composed by Craig Armstrong, known for his orchestral work on Moulin Rouge!, Sunshine, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Armstrong’s music for The Incredible Hulk blends expansive orchestral writing with electronic and ethnic textures, using thematic elements to support Bruce Banner’s emotional journey, the emergence of the Hulk, and the film’s intense action sequences.
The soundtrack album was released on June 13, 2008 via Marvel Music. It contains 45 original score tracks, runs approximately 111 minutes, and is available on major digital platforms including Apple Music; the release has also appeared on CD.
Armstrong’s score features layered orchestral themes that underscore the dual nature of Banner and the Hulk, integrating driving action cues with more introspective material. Elements of Joe Harnell’s “The Lonely Man” theme from the 1970s Incredible Hulk TV series are referenced within the score, tying the new interpretation to the character’s legacy.
The film also includes licensed and source music in select scenes that are not part of the original score album.
