Development
In May 2023, Marcelo Zarvos was brought in to score the film's music after previously collaborating with Fuqua in Brooklyn's Finest (2009), What's My Name: Muhammad Ali (2019), The Guilty (2021) and Emancipation (2022).[3] He replaced Harry Gregson-Williams, who scored the previous instalments in the trilogy.
Reception
Complimenting the score as "quietly alarming" Murtada Elfadl of Variety said that the score has two modes "threateningly ominous or loudly throbbing" and called it as "very effective, like so much of the film, delivering exactly what’s expected".[4] Wendy Ide of The Guardian wrote that "Thomas Azier violence-heralding musical motif on the score sounds like an electric guitar being butchered".[5] Renuka Vyahare of The Times of India called the score as "unnerving" and "sets the mood for a taut action thriller that isn't devoid of a heart".[6] Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent wrote "while composer Marcelo Zarvos’s screaming chords hint at an edgier, modern update, it’s still largely a retrograde affair".[7] Kyle Smith of The Wall Street Journal called the score as "eerie" and "frightening".[8] Filmtracks.com wrote "Zarvos' largely organic take on The Equalizer 3 is more dynamic and emotionally varied than Gregson-Williams' scores, and it contains ten minutes of very compelling highlights. But the loss of the explicit franchise theme, the terrible Azier cues, and an album that is frustratingly out of chronological order are significant detriments."[9]
