In January 2022, Laura Karpman was hired to compose the score for the film, after previously doing so for the first season of the MCU television series What If…? (2021) and Ms. Marvel. The piece “The Marvels Suite” was performed at the Philadelphia Orchestra on June 3, 2023. It is a concise version of music that Karpman worked on before composing the score.

Karpman explained that she wanted the suite to have “certain kinds of leaps” within the music to represent Danvers’ flight, while also having “power”, “drive”, and “play in it” to represent Danvers, Rambeau and Khan coming together as a trio. For Khan’s theme, Karpman resolved to bring in some “fantastic” musicians from Pakistan and India to collaborate with her to make an important theme that could represent Khan’s heritage most of the time, creating incredible sounds that “augment, blend and explode” a traditional Marvel superhero, opining that a character like Khan shouldn’t be othered and that her “big grown superhero” theme is about her adolescence, considering how her background was important in her show.

She also researched on what sound in space may be like for the cosmic adventure scenes. The film’s main theme, “Higher. Further. Faster. Together.”, premiered at the Last Night of the BBC Proms on September 9, 2023.[88] John Ottman’s themes from his scores from 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films X2 (2003) and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) are featured in the film.
