As a big fan of the WandaVision trilogy, I was thrilled to be selected to interview composer Mick Giacchino. The son of acclaimed composer Michael Giacchino, Mick is quickly making a name for himself in Hollywood with projects such as Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, The Muppets Mayhem, Zootopia+, and The Penguin, which won an Emmy for its score.
As a fan of this world, I got to pick his brain about how he explored new musical themes for these familiar characters.
Micks answer was… “We really wanted to make this a companion piece to WandaVision and Agatha All Along but also making VisionQuest our own.”
Mick told me he was a big fan of WandaVision, so he jumped at the chance to be a part of VisionQuest. He said he came up with the new theme for Vision after watching the first two episodes and then dove into scoring the rest of the series. He gave much of the credit for the new themes to writer and director Terry Matalas, especially for the theme of yearning and longing that plays when Vision watches the movie of his memories. Mick worked closely with Terry to decide where to bring back existing themes. For example, when Vision is speaking with Tommy, you can hear the WandaVision love theme.

Learning about how the music was composed just added so much more to my enjoyment of the series which I was already anxiously awaiting to see. It definitely made those heartsting pulling moments hit a little harder to know the love and care that was put in to making this powerful ending to an important trilogy in the MCU. Mick really did an amazing job making us feel as if these three shows flowed like they were supposed to be apart of one big movie, from the action sequnces to the quirkiness and the emotional climax VisionQuest is a perfect ending to this trilogy.
