DC Studios Confirms Junkie XL Replaces Ramin Djawadi on Supergirl

The switch is widely read as steering the film’s sound toward a darker, more percussive tone that fits James Gunn’s anti-hero framing.

Overview

  • DC updated official press notes and the movie website to list Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) as composer, confirming the late change.
  • Ramin Djawadi had been previously announced, and elements of his music featured in early promotional material for the film.
  • Analysts interpret Holkenborg’s hire as signaling a heavier, action-driven score aligned with the movie’s edgier positioning.
  • Warner Bros./DC has not provided a reason for Djawadi’s departure, with outlets noting DC’s recent precedent for late composer shifts such as on Superman.
  • Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock, is scheduled for theatrical release on June 26, 2026.
