Director James Gunn has released official Spotify playlists for the main characters of his upcoming film, Superman, to give fans an early taste of the movie's vibe. Shared via the social media platform Threads, these playlists reveal the distinct personalities of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor through their musical tastes.

The key details for each character's playlist are:

  • Clark Kent/Superman: Created by Gunn himself, this playlist reflects Clark's "Kansas farm boy" roots with a mix of classic rock, alternative, and indie music. It includes artists like The Flaming Lips, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen, aiming to capture his personal taste rather than just his heroic deeds.
  • Lois Lane: This playlist was a collaboration between Gunn and actress Rachel Brosnahan. It is designed to capture Lois's "firecracker energy" and wit, featuring a mix of punk rock, R&B, and classic tracks from artists like James Brown and PINS.
  • Lex Luthor: Created by Gunn and actor Nicholas Hoult, Lex's playlist is dramatically different. It consists of grandiose and sinister-sounding classical and post-classical music, intended to be what Lex would listen to while plotting.

Overall, the playlists offer a unique insight into the new interpretations of these iconic characters, defining their personalities through music long before the film's release.
