Supergirl’s New Composer Sets Her Apart From Superman

DC Studios has pulled off a bit of a coup for its upcoming Supergirl film, bringing in a composer whose work has shaped some of the most memorable moments in recent pop culture. Rather than focusing on casting or direction, the studio has turned heads by enlisting Ramin Djawadi, a name that’s become synonymous with epic soundtracks over the past twenty years. Many reckon he’s the bloke who made the final season of Game of Thrones at least tolerable, thanks to his music.

Djawadi’s credits include everything from the stirring themes of The Last of the Starks and Light of the Seven to the high-octane energy of Iron Man. His involvement signals that this isn’t just another superhero flick—it’s shaping up to be a real statement piece.

Ramin Djawadi’s Soundtrack: A Game Changer for Supergirl

Craig Gillespie is set to direct, with Milly Alcock stepping into the role of Kara Zor-El. Djawadi and Alcock have crossed paths before, with the composer providing the score for House of the Dragon, where Alcock played a young Targaryen. That collaboration helped her land the Supergirl gig, and now they’re teaming up again, swapping dragons for Kryptonian adventures.

Djawadi’s music added real weight to Alcock’s scenes in House of the Dragon, and now he’ll be scoring her as a rebellious, galaxy-hopping Kryptonian. Alcock’s take on Kara keeps that youthful, headstrong edge, not unlike her previous character, Rhaenyra. Djawadi has a knack for making heroes feel larger than life and villains truly menacing, so he’s well placed to capture both Kara’s alien strength and her all-too-human struggles.

Supergirl’s Score Promises What Superman Missed

When Superman hit screens, punters were mostly impressed, but aside from the Teddybears’ Punkrocker track, the soundtrack didn’t leave much of a mark. Compare that to Hans Zimmer’s work on Man of Steel—the Flight theme alone makes you feel like you’re soaring alongside the bloke in the cape.

Djawadi’s style often builds slowly, leading to a big, emotional payoff, much like Zimmer’s. For Supergirl, fans are hoping for something as punchy as the Wonder Woman theme by Rupert Gregson-Williams, but with Djawadi’s own twist. There’s a fair bit of excitement to see how he’ll put his stamp on Kara’s story.

Anticipation Builds for Supergirl’s Cinematic Debut

With Supergirl set to hit cinemas on 26 June 2026 in the US, there’s plenty of buzz about how Djawadi’s music will shape the film’s tone. His track record suggests he’ll bring out the best in both the action and the emotional beats, giving Kara Zor-El a soundscape that’s as bold and unique as she is.
