Things keep shifting behind the scenes on “Supergirl,” which has now, it seems, landed on its third composer.
Tom Holkenborg— aka Junkie XL — is no longer listed as the film’s composer. Taking over scoring duties instead is Claudia Sarne, marking the third time this project has switched composers, and this latest swifch comes just three months before the film’s release.
If you’re losing track, here’s how the musical chairs have played out.
Back in December 2025, Ramin Djawadi had been announced as the film’s composer. The hire made sense on paper — Djawadi previously collaborated with Gillespie on the 2011 remake of “Fright Night.”
However, that arrangement didn’t last long. By February 2026, Djawadi had exited and Holkenborg stepped in. Junkie XL, of course, already has DC credentials. He worked alongside Hans Zimmer on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and later composed the score for Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Now, only a few weeks later, Holkenborg is out too — and Sarne is in.
Three composers in a span of just a few months. Whether this is simply scheduling chaos or something more behind the scenes remains unclear, but the film has test screened, a handful of times, in the form of various different cuts, and Gunn, alongside Gillespie, obviously believe there’s still much work to be done.
