X-Men: First Class (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2011 film X-Men: First Class. The film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, is based on the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics, and is the fourth mainline installment in the X-Men film series and the fifth installment overall. Henry Jackman, who had worked with Vaughn in Kick-Ass (2010) composed the score, becoming the fourth composer to score for the series.[a] The score consisted of pop and rock infused music, which is reminiscent of John Barry's themes from the 1960s.
The soundtrack was digitally released by Sony Classical and Fox Music on June 6, 2011, by CD on July 4,[1] and a vinyl edition which was exclusively released on September 6, 2012.[2] The score received positive response from critics praising Jackman’s composition, instrumentation, musical influences and the usage of vintage pop tracks in the film. In March 2022, Reservoir Media acquired the music catalog rights of Jackman's discography, including First Class.[3]
