Ahead of the film’s release next week, DC Studios Co -Manager James Gunn reveals what music his “Superman” characters listen to and collaborate with Spotify to create personal playlists for each character in the upcoming movie.
The curated playlists reveal what Clark Kent, Lex Luthor, Eve Teschmacher, Metamorpho and the engineer would listen to, with every selection hand -picked by Gunn himself. He also recorded comments that explained his choices for each track.
“I’m obsessed with music so I’m happy to have collaborated with Spotify and created a character playlist: what the characters from Superman listen to,” Said Gunn. “I probably had more fun to do this than anything else I’ve done in recent years … I had to really think about who they were as people and imagine what kind of music they would be in.”
Clark Kent’s playlist has songs like “Don’t Stop Believin ‘” By Journey, “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World, and “Shake It Out” by Florence + The Machine. Lex Luthor’s playlist includes “fame” by David Bowie, “This city is not big enough for both of us” by Sparks and “Controvers” by Prince.
Eve’s playlist has “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift, “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter, and “… Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears. Metamorpho’s playlist has songs like “Digging your scene” by The Blow Monkeys, “I Was Never A Normal Boy” by Nightmare of You, and “Rise” by Public Image Ltd. The Engineer’s Spellist includes “La Mer” by Nine Inch Nails, “Archangel” by Burial, and “Feral Love” by Chelsea Wolfe.
The playlists of the film’s other characters, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen release on July 8, followed by Mister Ferrific, Hawkgirl and Green Lantern on July 11.
