Nicholas Britell (born October 17, 1980) is an American film and television composer. He has received numerous accolades, including an Emmy Award, as well as nominations for three Academy Awards and a Grammy Award. He has received Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score for Barry Jenkins's Moonlight (2016), If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), and Adam McKay's Don't Look Up (2021). He also scored McKay's The Big Short (2015) and Vice (2018). He is also known for scoring Battle of the Sexes (2017), The King (2019), Cruella (2021), and She Said (2022). The HBO original series Succession (2018–2023) marked Britell's entry into television. Britell scored all four seasons, earning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music in 2019. His scores for the second, third, and fourth seasons of Succession each earned the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series nominations in 2020, 2022, and 2023. His score for The Underground Railroad was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special in 2021. His works, as described by Soraya McDonald of Film Comment, "seem to organically straddle accessibility and sophistication in a way that goes beyond the typical programming of a big-city pops orchestra...That might have something to do with the fact that Britell has long had one foot in the world of hip-hop and another in the world of classical music."

Steven Rogers is a man out of time. Thanks to a super-soldier program back in WWII, he has a physique that can be considered "peak human". He has also physically aged only ten years since then, despite having lived during the intervening time. Most of his old friends are dead or dying, his wife died in the '80s and son missing since the Vietnam War. His oldest surviving friend has a nation to run, and little time for reminiscing. Nowadays, he just teaches history at a high school in Queens. Of course, not everyone wants to let Captain America fade into obscurity. One of his students has discovered his secret and is insistent about becoming his new sidekick. His great-niece is his liaison with a government agency that polices superhumans. And old enemies from the past have heirs that are making their presence known . . . . Captain America explores what it means to be not just a hero but a man, and whether some ideals that are considered out-dated are still worthwhile causes to be pursued. It is also a tale of fighting back against isolation and depression with the help of those around you.
