The upcoming DC Universe film Supergirl has made a major creative decision by hiring composer Ramin Djawadi to create its musical score. Djawadi is globally recognized for his iconic work on the television series Game of Thrones and its prequel House of the Dragon. This news signals a significant investment in the film’s atmosphere and emotional depth, linking the new superhero story to the epic, character-driven sound of one of television’s most famous shows.
The film, titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, is a key part of DC Studios’ planned Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. It will star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, and Emily Beecham. Craig Gillespie, known for directing I, Tonya and Cruella, is directing the project.
Release Date and Production Details
Warner Bros. Pictures has scheduled Supergirl for release in theaters on June 26, 2026. The production brings together a team with strong credentials. The screenplay was written by Ana Nogueira. The film is being produced by Peter Safran and DC Studios co-head James Gunn. Safran has produced hits like Aquaman and The Conjuring series, while Gunn is directing the forthcoming Superman film and previously created the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise for Marvel.
The story is based on the Woman of Tomorrow comic series by Tom King. It will show Supergirl on a space journey with her super-powered dog, Krypto, where her path crosses with a young woman named Ruthye Marye Knoll. This meeting sets Supergirl on a new and dangerous mission.
Who Is Composer Ramin Djawadi?
Ramin Djawadi is an Iranian-German composer whose music is known for its powerful and memorable themes. His career began after he studied at the Berklee College of Music and was recruited to work with renowned composer Hans Zimmer. Djawadi’s first major solo film score was for Blade: Trinity in 2004.
While he has scored many films, including Iron Man, Pacific Rim, and Eternals, he is most famous for his television work. His score for Game of Thrones earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards and multiple Grammy nominations. The show’s main title theme is instantly recognizable worldwide. Djawadi also composes the music for other major series like Westworld, Fallout, and the House of the Dragon.
His compositions incorporate a mix of both classical and modern technologies, which creates an immersive world that feels both personal and heroic.
Djawadi is known for creating music that supports character development and adds weight to the story. His involvement suggests that the Supergirl film will have a score with similar grand scale and emotional complexity.
What This Means for the Supergirl Movie
Bringing in a composer of Djawadi’s caliber is a clear statement about the film’s creative ambitions. His music for Game of Thrones was notable for assigning specific musical themes and instruments to different families and characters, helping to build a rich world. This approach could be very effective for introducing Supergirl’s corner of the DC Universe and defining her character against a cosmic backdrop.
The film’s director, Craig Gillespie, has previously worked with Djawadi. The composer scored Gillespie’s 2011 remake of Fright Night. This existing relationship likely contributed to the decision to collaborate again on such a large project.
The announcement has generated positive reactions from fans on social media. Many express confidence that the score will be exceptional, with one fan commenting, “You know the score is gonna be epic”. Others have pointed out Djawadi’s impressive range, from the giant robot battles of Pacific Rim to the superhero themes of Iron Man.
The Road to Release
With the composer now confirmed, the Supergirl film continues to move forward in production. The June 26, 2026 release date sets it firmly within the new DC Universe slate. It will follow James Gunn’s Superman movie, which is set to launch the new DC chapter in July 2025.
As of December 2025, Djawadi continues his work on other series. He is the composer for the second season of Fallout on Prime Video and will return for the third season of House of the Dragon on HBO.
