Elfman shed some light on the situation while speaking with 891 ABC Adelaide, bringing up Age of Ultron when asked about the process of modifying other composers’ work.
“I was doing the same thing actually just last week because I’ve contributed music to the new Avengers movie,” Elfman said. “I took part of Alan Silvestri’s theme on the original [movie], which I really liked, and I pulled it into the new theme, which became kind of a hybrid. I really enjoyed that.”
