A series of curated playlists offers fans a new way to understand the characters ahead of the July 11 release.

Overview

  • Director James Gunn has released Spotify playlists for each major Superman character featuring tracks from Taylor Swift, David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails.
  • Each playlist begins with Gunn’s recorded introduction detailing how song choices reflect individual character personalities.
  • The main Superman mix spans Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” to Nine Inch Nails; Lex Luthor’s selections underscore his vanity and need for attention.
  • Playlists for Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are slated to debut on July 8, with supporting character drops such as Mister Terrific due on the film’s July 11 premiere date.
  • This music initiative launches DC Studios’ Chapter One: Gods and Monsters and mirrors Gunn’s narrative-driven soundtrack approach from Guardians of the Galaxy.
