Who Composed the Kung Fu Panda 4 Soundtrack?
Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro composed the score together, released March 8, 2024 through Back Lot Music as “Kung Fu Panda 4 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack),” running about 48 minutes across 22 tracks. Zimmer, who scored all four Kung Fu Panda films, returned alongside his longtime collaborator Mazzaro (the two have also worked together on Man of Steel, The Lone Ranger, The Dark Knight Rises, and the Assassin’s Creed series). For this score, the duo used Chinese instruments to keep the franchise’s signature sound while blending in an 80-piece orchestra and contemporary pop needle-drops.
