Composer: Ramin Djawadi.

Ramin Djawadi is largely known for his television work, with PRISON BREAK and the BLADE series among his credits. So it's natural for him to pull out all the stops to impress the world with his first true Hollywood blockbuster score. IRON MAN is an engaging experiment in film score hybridism, as Djawadi blends elements of traditional film orchestration with boisterous instrumentation typically reserved for hard rock. In fact, at times, IRON MAN feels more like a rock or metal opera than a film score with heavy-rock elements. Since the central theme of the movie is war, Djawadi echoes the sentiment by having the string and horn sections battling with rock guitar and drums. And rather than centering on a superhero theme song or recurring motif, this score features more pulse-racing, incidental action-savvy music.
