Composer John Murphy, known for his work with Gunn on The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is crafting an 'incredibly beautiful' original score that will drive the film's narrative.
While the animated poster pays homage to Williams' classic Superman theme, Gunn promises the movie itself will be 'much more of a score film,' with only a few select songs incorporated into the soundtrack.
