James Gunn Withholds Spotify Wrapped, Says His Top Songs Are All in Man of Tomorrow

The tease points to a preplanned needle‑drop soundtrack guiding tone and performances.

Overview

  • On December 3, Gunn posted that he could not share his top Spotify tracks because every one of them is slated for Man of Tomorrow.
  • The disclosure signals a prominent run of licensed songs in the sequel, aligning with Gunn’s curated soundtrack approach.
  • Gunn is known to pick music well in advance and even play tracks on set to shape rhythm and emotion during filming.
  • This marks a shift from Superman’s heavier reliance on John Murphy and David Fleming’s score with minimal needle drops.
  • Man of Tomorrow is scheduled for July 9, 2027, with production expected in summer 2026; reported cast returns include David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, and Frank Grillo, while Brainiac casting is underway with rumored shortlist names and no offers reported.
