Musical Moments in the MCU?

What are some musical moments in the MCU?

Not scores, not compositions, not official soundtrack songs, but musical moments where a character breaks into song, or other ***diagenetic*** pieces of music?

Some I’m thinking of are:

• Star Spangled Man With A Plan - Captain America: The First Avenger

• Whatcha Gonna Do (It's Up To You) - Agent Carter

• The Deke Squad - Agents of Shield

• Trish Walker “I Want Your Cray Cray” - Jessica Jones

• Agatha All Along - WandaVision

• The Ballad of the Witches' Road - Agatha All Along

• Rogers the Musical - Hawkeye

• I Don’t Know What Christmas Is - Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special

• Aladna the Musical Planet - The Marvels

• Guardians Infero, as a very meta reference

Are there any more? Surely there have to be, with almost 40 films, television series, one shots, special presentations, shorts, and digital series?

Scores and soundtracks aside, we need more music in the MCU!

Ooh child things are gonna get easier

wakeup372026-01-26 04:02

Every time I watch this I expect the blooper real version, always a disappointment when Ronin doesn't dance-off!

wakeup372026-01-25 09:40

Iron Man 2, pisswreck Tony's party where he ends it by asking the DJ to "give me a phat beat to beat my buddy's ass to".

DrManhattan_DDM2026-01-25 15:21

Not just any DJ, he had the real DJ AM spinning at his party. He addresses him by name in that line you mentioned, “Hey, Goldstein. Gimme a phat beat to beat my buddy’s ass to.”

weasol122026-01-25 15:55

And that it's Robot Rock is even better for two suits to duke it out over.

mikeonbass2026-01-25 19:58

Lest you forget Justin Hammer's Expo Dance

SpacePanda252026-01-25 10:28

What If S3 - Agatha vs Kingo dance-off

msalazar20112026-01-25 18:42

How could I forget Kingo! I totally forgot the whole Bollywood dance scene in Eternals

jordanmc72026-01-25 10:33

I made a MCU playlist with the “best/most interesting/personal favorite” needle drops from each MCU project. Guardians movies got an extra, a couple like Incredible Hulk didn’t have an entry:

always liked tony hijacking the quinjet PA system in *avengers* to announce his arrival with “shoot to thrill,” itself a callback to his stark expo appearance in *iron man 2*

flipthepenny2026-01-25 13:16

Not just the song “Agatha All Along” — WandaVision gave us a season’s worth of banger TV theme songs from Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. [WandaVision Theme Songs](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6eAvpYorsxnP1IpnA8PKl9?si=KNG9FtwzTpyfc8mOVppGaw)

ghirox2026-01-25 14:32

Friendly reminder it’s the same pair who also wrote let it go

flipthepenny2026-01-25 14:44

Indeed! And “Remember Me,” from Coco. And, of course, AAA’s “The Ballad of the Witches Road.”

HankSteakfist2026-01-27 03:05

The Family Ties one from Episode 5 is amazing.

flipthepenny2026-01-27 03:08

Making It Up As We Go Along! My favorite also.

Virtual-Wind-37472026-01-25 14:18

rogers the musical is some of the finest tv ever made. absolutely kills. ill die on this hill.

eolson32026-01-25 14:28

No, Maria isn't in the musical.

n_mcrae_19822026-01-26 15:41

I think cause they got a legit Broadway musical guy to write that. I saw him interviewed about it a while back. He wasn’t a MCU fan, but his partner was, so he got some info from him.

Ok-Till26192026-01-25 15:01

Guardians singing along to Runner band Man in Infinity War

The majority of the music in the Guardians films, especially part 3

TerraStarryAstra2026-01-25 15:22

That ratatata part in the marvels is one of my favorite parts about the movie

WildMongoose62062026-01-25 16:00

I honestly liked captain america song. It was a classic.

Jayko-Wizard92026-01-27 04:55

Was made by Alan meken the goat

Romnonaldao2026-01-25 16:19

The opening Deadpool scene where he's doing boy band choreography

ReddiTrawler20212026-01-25 22:46

The opening titles? So we can count the Guardians of the Galaxy with Star-Lord and Groot?

Romnonaldao2026-01-25 22:51

I wouldn't say those. Those were characters just dancing to music they were listening to in universe. Deadpool (Dancepool) was doing choreography to the music being played over the movie itself for the audience, making it a direct performance.

Grootfan852026-01-25 17:19

Since No Way Home made it count.

“Dig on this!”

msalazar20112026-01-25 18:34

Just rewatched this scene, and yes, exactly! This is the kind of camp we need in the MCU!

evapotranspire2026-01-25 19:52

Yes!!! I came here to say this (literally just rewatched this episode today).

Not only was it a delightfully spontaneous moment in the story (Loki S1 E3, "Lamentis-1"), but Tom Hiddleston actually memorized all the lyrics in Norwegian!

car0linabeauty2026-01-25 20:27

Yes, Tom and Loki are my favorites! And, my kids never let me skip the song whenever it comes up on my playlist. Haha

qcthunder2026-01-25 21:31

Same. Just watched it yesterday.

actuallycallie2026-01-26 02:47

he's very full

HanTrollo7102026-01-25 20:49

I wish Rodgers the Musical was real

Journ9er2026-01-26 02:36

It was. [A full one-act version of the musical ran at Disney California Adventure's Hyperion Theater in the summer of 2023.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers:_The_Musical#Disney_California_Adventure)

HanTrollo7102026-01-26 13:26

I mean a fully realized musical that maybe goes on tour so I could actually see it

mjolbrekka2026-01-25 23:04

Wedding dance from the Ms Marvel series?

actuallycallie2026-01-26 02:47

that was so FUN

msalazar20112026-01-26 05:43

Just rewatched it, and it WAS so fun! Crazy how that Bollywood dance scene was so much better than the one in Eternals

Yellwsub2026-01-26 02:08

ZEMO

DANCE

RalphMacchio4042026-01-26 03:11

Dancing Zemo.

I appreciate the incredible talent of the performers in the musical elements, but I do disagree. Only three of the listed examples felt appropriate in their respective plotlines (Cap, Agatha and Hawkeye.) Again, I don't dislike musicals, but don't usually enjoy the overlap. Joker 2 reviews and ticket sales back up that opinion. I would love Disney to keep making musical content, just prefer most of it to be outside of the MCU.

Calebixx2026-01-26 15:36

The AoS episode when Deke and Mack are stuck in the 80’s is amazing

gestalto2026-01-26 18:01

Diegetic\*

Diagenetic means something very different.

msalazar20112026-01-26 18:05

Whoops 😅

TelevisualJackFan2026-01-26 18:04

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark would like a word with you!

hemareddit2026-01-26 23:52

Say what you want about the Marvels, but “He’s Bilingual” is a 10/10 joke.

the-tominatrix2026-01-27 03:13

There’s gotta be a needle drop fight scene we’re all not thinking of. Like Vol 3’s Beastie Boys Bash

JustDoitGogogo2026-01-27 03:58

I hope we get more Agatha Harkness songs

Hiking-Sausage1322026-01-27 04:13

>Scores and soundtracks aside, we need more music in the MCU!

please no never liked them in any show or movie

BeerGogglesFTW2026-01-29 03:52

Honorable mention, as it's not a musical (characters singing), but [Engelbert Humperdinck, A Man Without Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q0cTNJ4HOc) was still stuck in my head for weeks after Moon Knight ended.

Human_Wheel47932026-01-29 06:38

The song in Agatha All Along was amazing!
