‘Superman’ Filmmaker James Gunn Reveals the Playlists Inspired by Your Favorite Characters

If you’ve ever wondered what might be playing in Clark Kent’s headphones when he’s not saving the world as Superman, today is your lucky day.

With the highly anticipated Superman debuting in theaters today, Spotify has teamed up with DC Studios and filmmaker James Gunn to curate a playlist, with song selections inspired by the film’s cast of characters, including Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor.

At the start of each character’s section in the playlist, fans can find an exclusive voice note from James where he explains the collection of songs that he hand-picked for each character. 

“I probably had more fun doing this than anything else I’ve done in the past couple of years,” James said. “I had to really think about who they were as people and imagine what kind of music they’d be into.”
