Ramin Djawadi exits 'Supergirl' project: DC film's score to be composed by Junkie XL.

Composer of the cult 'Game of Thrones' soundtrack exits the DC Studios film, replaced by Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' composer.

Significant behind-the-scenes changes have occurred in the production of the DC Studios film 'Supergirl.' It has been revealed that Ramin Djawadi, who was previously announced as the project's composer, is no longer involved. Instead, the score will be written by Tom Holkenborg, better known by his stage name Junkie XL. The information has been confirmed by official studio materials.

Djawadi rose to fame for his soundtrack to the series 'Game of Thrones,' as well as his work on Marvel films, including 'Iron Man.' The reasons for his departure have not been disclosed.

Junkie XL Returns to the DC Universe

Tom Holkenborg is already familiar with the DC world, having previously composed music for Zack Snyder's 'Justice League.' His appointment marks the second such instance in the new DCU where a composer is replaced at a relatively late stage of production.

A similar situation previously occurred with the film 'Superman,' where David Fleming joined the project alongside the initially announced John Murphy. These changes point to active adjustments being made to the creative direction of the rebooted DC cinematic universe.

The Heroine's First Solo Film in the New DCU

The director of 'Supergirl' is Craig Gillespie. The film will be the first solo adventure for Kara Zor-El in the rebooted cinematic universe.

The plot follows the heroine as she is forced to embark on an epic interstellar journey in search of vengeance and justice after a ruthless attack by an unexpected foe. Along the way, she teams up with an unlikely ally, and the story evolves into a cosmic fantasy with an emotional dramatic arc.

The lead role is played by Milly Alcock, known to audiences from the series 'House of the Dragon.'

Release Date and Context

The global premiere of 'Supergirl' is scheduled for June 26, 2026. Notably, the release will occur after a potential split or sale of Warner Bros., adding an extra layer of industry context to the project.

The change of composer at this late stage underscores that DC Studios continues to actively shape the identity of its new franchise, aiming to establish a distinct musical and visual tone for its future films.
