Marvel Studios and Columbia Records have come together in an interesting bit of Hollywood synergy by scoring practically all of this year’s Iron Man 2 to songs by AC/DC.

The hugely anticipated superhero action flick will reportedly feature up to 15 cuts from the Australian hard-rockers, with a full release entitled AC/DC: Iron Man 2 to hit stores this April.

The film will be the sequel to 2008′s multi-million dollar juggernaut, Iron Man, Marvel Studios’ most successful film yet. The film’s opening scene featured AC/DC hit, Back In Black, and director Jon Favreau wanted to take the energy and attitude of that scene and extend it throughout the sequel.

A sneak peak of the merging of AC/DC’s music and film can be viewed online now with a new video for the band’s classic Shoot To Thrill, which features new footage from the movie.

Marvel Studios’ Chief Operating Officer, Tim Connors, had this to say about the pairing:

“Music is an integral part of the Tony Stark and Iron Man experience, and we are pleased that Columbia and AC/DC are taking part in the franchise’s phenomenon. Through this relationship, the band is delivering fans supercharged Iron Man branded music through all our combined consumer touch points, from the movie to retail outlets and even virally with the debut of the new video.”

AC/DC: Iron Man 2 will be released on April 19. Here’s a look at the track listing:

1. Shoot to Thrill
2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Damnation
3. Guns for Hire
4. Cold Hearted Man
