While Marvel successfully did the same with the nostalgia-plumbing Guardians of the Galaxy "mixtape", for all the MCU’s brand expansion and various non-MCU, Marvel Comics-affiliated projects, out of the "new" Marvel catalogue (post-Iron Man), only two Iron Man films, The Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy have compilation soundtracks of their own. Soundtrack compilations, whose songs may or may not actually appear in the films they’re named for, are popular particularly within youth-focused genres the Divergent and Hunger Games series, as well as more classically "teen" coming-of-age films like The Fault in Our Stars, have carefully utilized these soundtracks as their own film extensions and pop culture-influencing material. Marvel Comics' films actually have a fairly deep, though not necessarily rich, history of music. Iron Man 2 is a soundtrack album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on April 19, 2010, as the soundtrack to the film of the same name. After all, most iconic film franchises have sweeping, instantly recognizable themes and scores.
For a company as obsessed with creating a singular vision as Marvel, the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe should have a more coherent musical identity.
