- Gunn is leaning on composer John Murphy, who previously worked with him on 'The Suicide Squad', to craft a 'much more of a score film' that pays homage to John Williams' classic theme while forging its own unique sonic identity.
- While Gunn has used hit songs to great effect in his 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films, he's taking a more restrained approach with 'Superman', focusing on select tracks that complement the score rather than driving the narrative.
