If John Williams actually shows up (and doesn't just phone it in like he did with KOTCS) then there's no one out there (living) who can match him. If Jerry Goldsmith was still alive I would have absolutely picked him. Otherwise, nobody. My only hope at this point is that Williams even
makes it to Indy V. Hopefully he's got another 10 years left in him and scores all the way til his dying breath.
Just thinking of today's composers nauseates me.
So many high pitched shrill scores that are absolutely meaningless and you get nothing out of them. They're just loud, obnoxious noise. Compare that to guys like Williams and Goldsmith.... just so much depth and emotion, it's beautiful.
Perhaps Alexandre Desplat?

Right now, there's only one composer of recent years that stuck and that is Brian Tyler. I think he would be up for it.
I literally cannot believe you just said that.
Brian Tyler?! The same no talent hack that scored Thor TDW and a couple other Marvel films? I'm sorry but his scores are the absolute lowest form of sh*t and forgettable the instant they stop playing. He would be one of the
absolute worst possible choices to score Indy V. That's like suggesting Marco Beltrami.
If Williams was unavailable, Spielberg would probably use Thomas Newman again. Though there's always Alvin Silvestri. If he could channel his Back to the Future aura, he may be able to pull it off. Still a stretch though.
