Ludwig Göransson, the Golden Globe-winning and Grammy-nominated composer of Marvel’s Black Panther, has signed on to score The Mandalorian, the upcoming live-action Star Wars series following a lone gunfighter in the far reaches of the galaxy.

Announced on StarWars.com, the Swedish Göransson is an award-winning musician, best known for his work with director Ryan Coogler on films including Black Panther, Fruitvale Station and both Creed movies. He’s also scored Venom, worked on the television shows Community and New Girl and produced records for Chance the Rapper, Haim and Donald Glover’s Childish Gambino.

In a statement, Göransson admitted that he has some big shoes to fill, stepping into the rarefied company of John Williams, the legendary Star Wars composer.

“Words fail to express how surreal and humbling it feels to be invited into the Star Wars universe,” Göransson said. “I am deeply grateful to Jon Favreau and Disney for this opportunity and to John Williams for raising the bar so high with his iconic, intrepid scores – they will never be matched. In these next months I hope to honor the tradition of Star Wars’ musical landscape while propelling The Mandalorian into new and unchartered territory. And I will try to remember that there is no try.”
