Supergirl’s Composer Choice Sets Her Apart From Superman

DC Studios has made a rather bold move with its upcoming Supergirl film, enlisting a creative force who is neither an actor nor a director, but a composer. Ramin Djawadi, celebrated for his work on some of the most memorable soundtracks of recent years, is set to score the project. His music has left a lasting impression on audiences, with many crediting him as the saving grace of Game of Thrones’ eighth series.

From the stirring notes of The Last of the Starks and Light of the Seven to the pulse-raising energy of Iron Man, Djawadi’s compositions have shaped the sound of modern pop culture. His involvement suggests that Supergirl will be more than a standard superhero origin tale; it’s likely to be a cinematic event with a distinctive musical identity.

Ramin Djawadi’s Influence on Supergirl’s Cinematic Ambitions

Craig Gillespie is set to direct, with Milly Alcock taking on the role of Kara Zor-El. Djawadi has previously collaborated with Alcock on House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel, which played a part in her being cast as Supergirl. The composer’s Emmy-winning touch brought depth to Alcock’s portrayal of a young Targaryen princess, and now, their creative partnership continues in a very different universe.

This time, Alcock’s character is a Kryptonian with a penchant for interstellar adventures and a rebellious streak. Djawadi’s music is renowned for elevating protagonists, making heroes feel legendary and adversaries truly menacing. It’s expected he’ll capture both Kara’s extraordinary powers and her all-too-human vulnerabilities with his signature flair.

Supergirl’s Soundtrack: A New Benchmark for DC

While the recent Superman film was generally well received, its soundtrack—aside from the inclusion of Punkrocker by Teddybears—failed to make a significant impact. In contrast, Hans Zimmer’s work on Man of Steel, particularly the Flight theme, gave audiences a sense of soaring alongside the hero. Djawadi’s style, with its gradual build and dramatic crescendos, is well suited to this kind of storytelling.

For Supergirl, many are hoping for something as electrifying as the Wonder Woman theme by Rupert Gregson-Williams. There’s a sense of anticipation that Djawadi might even surpass that benchmark, offering a score that truly defines the character for a new generation.

Anticipation Builds for Supergirl’s Release

With Djawadi at the helm, expectations are high for a soundtrack that will do justice to Kara Zor-El’s journey. The film is scheduled to arrive in UK cinemas on 26 June 2026, and fans are already speculating about the musical direction it will take. Will Djawadi’s artistry set a new standard for superhero films? Time will tell.

Supergirl is set to release on 26 June 2026 (UK).
