The wait is finally over for UK cinemagoers – 'Supergirl' is about to land in theatres this Thursday, June 25, and the buzz surrounding it just got louder with the unveiling of its eclectic soundtrack! In a bold move, the DC Studios film's producers have curated a selection of tracks that perfectly capture the film's "punky energy" and epic interstellar journey. It's clear they've been on a mission to create an unforgettable auditory experience.
Star of the show is 'House Of The Dragon' sensation Milly Alcock, who reprises her role as Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, in this thrilling adventure. This marks her second outing as the titular character, following a brief stint in last year's 'Superman' film. Director Craig Gillespie, known for his work on 'I, Tonya' and 'Cruella', brings his unique touch to the project, which also boasts an all-star cast featuring Eve Ridley as Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem Of The Yellow Hills, Jason Momoa as Lobo, and supporting roles from David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and David Corenswet.
The musical landscape of 'Supergirl' is a true reflection of its bold and daring spirit. Original score composer Claudia Sarne brings her A-game with a score that perfectly complements the film's narrative. But it's not just about the score – the soundtrack boasts an incredible array of indie and classic tracks, showcasing a deliberately eclectic mix of genres and eras. Fans will be thrilled to see British indie rock band Wet Leg contribute 'Catch These Fists', while fellow UK band Wolf Alice are also featured with their hit track 'Smile'.
The full list of songs is nothing short of impressive, spanning decades and continents. You'll find French icon Françoise Hardy's 'Le Temps De L'Amour', Brazilian bossa nova legend Antônio Carlos Jobim's 'Girl From Ipanema', and American jazz queen Ella Fitzgerald's 'Cheek To Cheek'. Modern artists like Halsey, Hana Vu, and K-pop group LE SSERAFIM also make appearances, alongside tracks from Sleigh Bells, Rilo Kiley, Modest Mouse, The Limiñanas, Winnie Ama, Fela Kuti, and Eagles Of Death Metal.
It's clear the production team had a blast putting this soundtrack together – and it shows! The fact that they were even attempting to secure rights for Björk's 'It's Oh So Quiet' only adds to the excitement. With such an incredible mix of tracks, cinema-goers are in for a real treat.
While 'Supergirl' will initially be exclusive to UK cinemas, details regarding its eventual streaming availability on platforms like Max (formerly HBO Max), Sky Cinema, or other major streamers are yet to be confirmed. As usual, DC films typically transition to streaming a few months after their theatrical run – but we can't wait to see this one take flight!
