MLS's walkout music is getting an extreme makeover in honor of the league's 25th season–and the surgeon is legendary film score composer Hans Zimmer.
Zimmer, who is scoring the upcoming James Bond film and also composed the music for–among many other movies–Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King and The Dark Knight trilogy, was tabbed to write the music for MLS's new processional anthem, to which clubs walk out from the tunnel and onto the field prior to every match. His involvement with the project was first reported by The Athletic.
The score sounds like it's straight from an intense action film, which is by design.
