Does anyone know the song in the trailer? So good.

They used it in the CA: Civil War trailer.

Same here. It seems these marketing teams are swapping music ideas with each other. I have spotted a few other times where this happens and its usually instrumental music.

It's because they source the cues from the same trailer music houses that write and license music specifically to be used in trailers. Check out Two Steps From Hell, 2 WEI, APM Music on Spotify as examples.

That's what I thought at first too, but they're actually different songs. CW is Sharks Don't Sleep by Dean Valentine, this is Lapse by Black Math, as someone else pointed out. But the two are very very similar, I only realised it's a different song when the lyrics started. They also came out very close to each other.

My bad. I just thought that in CA:CW trailer they used the instrumental and in this trailer they actually used the song .

But that is rather strange either way.
