Background

Hans Zimmer was composer for Wonder Woman in 1984, replacing Rupert Gregson-Williams who scored the first film. Zimmer previously scored Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , the first and second films in the DC Extended Universe, and the latter which also featured Wonder Woman. [2] He is joined by David Fleming [3] and Steve Mazzaro, [4] who provided additional music.

As part of DC FanDome 2020, WaterTower Music released the first track from the score, titled "Themyscira". [5] Another track, "Open Road", was released on December 10 as part of the "Week of Wonder" social media promotion leading up to the film's release. [6]

A variation of the song "Beautiful Lie" from Batman v Superman, composed by Zimmer and Junkie XL, was also used towards the end of the film, but is not present on the film's official soundtrack. [7]

WaterTower released the album Wonder Woman 1984: Sketches from the Soundtrack on February 5, 2021, a compilation of eleven suites and sketches written by Zimmer for the film. [8]
