Thor: Ragnarok
Led Zeppelin stopped theThor : Ragnarokteam from making modification to their iconic track ‘ Immigrant Song ’ , the moving picture ’s composer Mark Mothersbaugh has revealed . The strident song has become synonymous with music director Taika Waititi ’s split - roaringThorthreequel , with its riotous rhythms appearing twice in the film itself and once inthat memorable drone .
In fact , Ragnarok ’s family relationship with ‘ Immigrant Song ’ travel back even further than the film ’s grading and its selling campaign . Led Zeppelin ’s tune was a part ofRagnarokfrom the moving picture ’s very conception , withWaititi using it as the back track for his rake meeting sizzle reel . Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige remembers Waititi ’s pitching as being “ amazing ” and “ score to that Led Zeppelin song ” , so it plainly made a big impression .

Mothersbaugh , who had the Chris Hemsworth - featuringVacationmovie on his résumé before landing theRagnarokscore fishgig , spoke to Screen Rant only about his oeuvre on this massive Marvel movie . As Mothersbaugh recalls , the positive response toRagnarok ’s ‘ Immigrant Song ’ trailer pep up the production to arrive at out to the isthmus to get the rights to utilize it double in the existent pic :
" I love that song . So dandy . And fit so gross in the film . They did it in the trailer . How many months ago was that ? Four months ago ? Five or six month ago ? And it was such a hit that they knew they wanted to see if they could talk Jimmy [ Paige ] and Robert [ Plant ] into letting them put in the movie and they had to see the movie and they screw it , they really wanted it to be in there too . So that ’s how we ended up getting it for two America . "
Once they had the rights , Marvel pushed their luck a bit , asking run Zeppelin if it would be okay to convert the song by adding a big orchestral accompaniment . As Mothersbaugh describes , the iconic British band did not take the suggestion well :
" If there was only one ruefulness , we threw it out there - what do you cerebrate about the thought of allow Mark put his 100 opus orchestra over the second use on the bridge . And they were like ‘ no one ’s allowed to adjoin our Sung in any way musically ’ . They have these rule of what you ’re allow to do . It was an idea … maybe on the next film … "
Led Zepp were clearly not unfastened to the thought of Mothersbaugh adding to their Sung . It may have sounded cool to have an total orchestra endorse up the song during that third human action bridge circuit - based showdown , but the set were not willing to permit it go on .
However , it ’s interesting that Mothersbaugh said “ possibly on the next film ” at the terminal of his solvent . Perhaps , now thatRagnarokhas love amassive opening weekendandimpressed the critics , Led Zeppelin will be a little more conciliatory if Marvel comes knock once more . Fans will just have to wait and see .
