James Gunn says he can’t share his best packaged songs on Spotify because they’re “ALL in MAN OF TOMORROW”

It’s that time of year again where music fans share their Spotify Wrapped playlists on social media, and Superman Director James Gunn has now released an abridged version of his playlist with the best songs removed…because they’re “all in Man of Tomorrow.”

Gunn has become almost as synonymous with his film soundtracks as his work itself over the years, using undeniable bangers for the Guardians of the Galaxy films and the first season of Peacemaker.

The filmmaker resisted the urge to include more than a few songs in Superman Noah and the Whale’s (“5 Years Time” accompanied Mr. Terrific’s action sequence), relying instead on John Williams’ John Murphy and David Fleming-inspired score.

Unfortunately, familiarity can often breed contempt, and many of Gunn’s detractors feel that his projects might be better served if he didn’t “force” his musical tastes down our throats, pointing to the recent second season of Peacemaker – which included a Steel Panther track called “F*cking My Heart in the A*s” – to support their position.

Whatever your opinion on Gunn’s use of music, this article would obviously suggest that we’ll hear quite a few songs throughout. The man of tomorrow.

I can’t post my best songs because they’re ALL in Man of Tomorrow, but I can post other stuff.

The man of tomorrow will see Man of Steel (David Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) team up to take on Brainiac. Rachel Brosnahan will also return as Lois Lane, with Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. (we’ve heard that other characters from Peacemaker season 2 will also be present).

Casting for Brainiac is underway, but as far as we know, no offers have been made. Claes Bang, Sam Rockwell and Matt Smith are he is rumored to be on the shortlist.

It remains to be seen how the character will be introduced in the film, but there’s a good chance it will have something to do with the events of the film. Peacemaker season 2 finale.
