Jason Statham trades highways for the high seas in Mutiny, an action thriller directed by Jean-François Richet that sends Statham’s character, Cole Reed, aboard a cargo ship after he’s framed for the murder of his billionaire employer. The film also stars Annabelle Wallis, Jason Wong, Roland Møller, Arnas Fedaravičius, and Adrian Lester, and arrives in U.S. theaters via Lionsgate on August 21, 2026.
Behind the film’s tactical set pieces and shipboard combat is a score from German composer Marcus Trumpp, working once again with longtime collaborator Marco Beltrami. Here’s a look at what’s officially confirmed about the music — and what’s still pending as the film reaches theaters.

Mutiny Soundtrack Overview
UPDATE: The Mutiny soundtrack has now been released. Filmtrax Ltd. (in partnership with Atlantic Screen Music) issued the 20-track Mutiny (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) digitally on August 21, 2026, the same day as the film’s theatrical debut — confirmed by Film Music Reporter’s official album-details post and corroborated by Geekstronomy’s soundtrack coverage. Marcus Trumpp’s score is described as a predominantly electronic and synthetic score built around a custom instrument the composer created called the “Carnage Organ,” with music that evolves from an ominous foghorn-like sound into a gritty, grounded atmosphere matching the film’s tone.
Of the score, Trumpp said: “It was a privilege to jump aboard Mutiny and continue my longstanding collaboration with Jean-François Richet at the helm… Beginning with the Artemis’ foghorn, which morphs into the film’s central motif, every musical choice was made to reinforce the film’s relentless momentum while still staying firmly grounded in its dark world.” The score also introduces a distinct musical theme for Cole Reed, Jason Statham’s character, underscoring his determination through the film.
The album runs roughly 53 minutes across its 20 tracks and is available now on all major digital music services via Filmtrax Ltd., a UK-based label that specializes exclusively in contemporary film scores.
The film’s plot follows Cole Reed, a former Special Forces operative and ex–London Metropolitan Police officer working in private security, who is framed for the murder of his billionaire boss and escapes aboard a massive cargo ship to clear his name — uncovering an international conspiracy along the way.
Who Composed the Mutiny Soundtrack?
The score for Mutiny was composed by Marcus Trumpp, a German film composer born March 16, 1974, in Stuttgart. Trumpp began playing piano at age four and wrote his first composition at eight. After graduating high school in Germany in 1993, he wrote the theater musical “Metropol,” staged in Stuttgart to critical acclaim. His career in film composition began the following year with the score for the German picture “My Grandfather and the Man in the Moon.”
In 1998, Trumpp enrolled in the Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television program at the University of Southern California, where he trained under film-music figures Elmer Bernstein, David Raksin, and Leonard Rosenman. Since then, he has written, orchestrated, and recorded music for film, television, commercials, and multimedia projects across the U.S., Germany, England, and China, and is represented by Different Direction Management.
Trumpp is best known for his long-running creative partnership with composer Marco Beltrami, which began with 2008’s Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 and has continued across more than half a dozen features since, including The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, The Emperor of Paris, Love and Monsters, the Fear Street trilogy’s first and third installments, and 2023’s Plane — Trumpp and Beltrami’s previous collaboration with director Jean-François Richet.
On Mutiny, Beltrami serves as score producer rather than co-composer, continuing that working relationship into Richet’s latest project. The pair is also confirmed to be scoring Richet’s next feature, the Netflix film Quasimodo, expected to premiere later this year.

Score Highlights
SeekerTune’s music-guide coverage of the film describes Trumpp’s original score as leaning into “sharp melodic tunes” during the film’s quieter tactical-planning sequences, contrasted against harder-edged licensed music during the movie’s combat scenes. This suggests a score that alternates between a more traditional, melodic action-thriller idiom and moments designed to sit underneath or alongside the film’s contemporary licensed soundtrack.
Now that the album has been officially released, that early stylistic read is largely borne out: Geekstronomy’s soundtrack coverage confirms Trumpp built the score around a custom-made instrument called the “Carnage Organ,” using it to generate a foghorn-like drone that grows into the film’s central action motif, while also weaving in a dedicated character theme for Cole Reed. Track titles such as “Cole Boards the Artemis,” “Follow Protocol,” and “The Navy Arrives” line up with the tactical, shipboard structure of the film’s plot beats.
Mutiny Licensed Songs / Needle Drops
Only one specific licensed track has been confirmed with a verified title and artist attribution so far:
- “Step Into a World (Rapture’s Delight)” [The Remix-Radio Version] — KRS-One, featured in the official Mutiny trailer (not yet confirmed as an in-film needle drop).
SeekerTune’s descriptive coverage of the film’s overall music approach also names Royal Blood, The Prodigy, and Run the Jewels as artists associated with the soundtrack’s harder-edged, high-energy sound for the film’s fight and shootout sequences. However, no specific song titles, timestamps, or confirmed scene placements have been published for any of these three artists, and neither Tunefind nor WhatSong currently list a Mutiny (2026) entry. Per this outlet’s sourcing standards, these three names are noted here as confirmed artist associations only — not as confirmed needle drops — and should not be treated as a verified in-film song list until specific track titles are officially published or independently corroborated.
