Superman (2025) - Benjamin Squires Original Soundtrack (Theme from Superman)

[@BenjaminNaman]

The record of not having a bad Superman theme lives on!!!

[@davidj7828]

I dont think most people understand how daunting it is to try and reimagine a piece of music so iconic as the Williams theme. This had every reason to fall apart and feel like a cover (I am also a film composer) and this is, quite literally, a perfect modernization of a timeless theme that feels familiar as well as entirely new.

[@BenjaminSquiresMusic]

thanks, David!

[@mb-vc7fs]

I think that's why John Williams composed it that way 45 years ago... even then, he knew it would be damn near impossible to beat, though I've heard a couple of good versions since then

[@JoeSparro]

Why not keep it? Instead of reimagine....

[@mb-vc7fs]

​@JoeSparro well, keeping it is essentially what they did, or rather they took original existing music cues, which everyone knows they had to get clearances for, and interspersed them with the new material by Benjamin Squires

[@mb-vc7fs]

@BenjaminSquiresMusic I love the way you composed this... I'd ultimately want to acquire not only the OST, but the complete score, including unused cues, every conceived idea for the score

[@tripleh3b]

This is totally the score for the trailer tomorrow.

[@SunnyKumar-z5o6k]

[@Valkeye]

@@thomascourtois1404 honestly, this is the bit that sounds like a jerk. From my interpretation of the original comment, it looks like it's saying that this theme is perfection. Like pretty much every other comment here. So how does this specific one make OP out to be a jerk?

[@44excalibur]

No, this is not a mixture of Zimmer's Man of Steel score and John Williams' Superman score. I honestly do not know why so many people think they hear Zimmer in this music. This is entirely John Williams. It's a combination of his 1978 Smallville theme and his main Superman theme.

[@jvaflorproductions]

I’m not even much of a superman fan, and I liked that a lot. Screw it, I’ll even go and see the movie now.

[@chandlerwills]

Writers/Directors/Artists, can try to capture the essence of Superman. But, its the music that transports us to a world where we can Look Up and see Superman. Awesome work Squires. I hope your name goes down next to Williams and Zimmer for this honoring them in this masterpiece.

[@mariogomezg]

He's not the movie composer, this is s fan composition.

[@MySuperman78]

Now this is the kind of score that’s been missing from these movies for a long time! The score itself is just as much of a character and part of the story as the actual people who were cast.

[@SpartanLe117]

I now realise why this is the most important movie of 2025

[@Will-nn3pb]

Theres alot more to life then this movie mate 😂😂

[@RichWards-Wins]

​@@Will-nn3pbI fully agree. These nerds are literally fighting over superman's underwear...no joke. If that, or fighting over cavill and pornswet... Gunn or snyder. For fans of an imaginary character they sure behave more like lex Luthor than superman himself.

[@rjmacready6693]

​@BenjaminSquiresMusic might wanna put in your title that this isn't the score for the film in any capacity. The title is leading people to believe this is the score for the film. Which I understand is your intention for views but tomorrow people are gonna be confused when that trailer drops.

[@aMilling]

Love it, the john williams theme is just so iconic. Love this fresh take on it.

[@magnetmac1]

This Superman score is straight kick-ass!! If the movie itself will be as good as this theme, then we're in for a treat.

@@rjmacready6693 Benjamin Squires is not a fan. He is a renowned British film-music composer. This is his music rendition of the upcoming Superman movie.

[@user-pr5py8cw9x]

​@@magnetmac1 But he's purposely confusing people. People don't know who this guy is. They see "Superman (2025)" in the title and thinks he's the composer. He could have put "Rendition of John Williams" without putting the movie title.

[@magnetmac1]

@@user-pr5py8cw9x People do know who Benjamin Squires is. At least I do because I follow his incredible work. His rendition theme rendition of the upcoming movie is well made. You cannot deny that. The description above specifically says "Composed and arranged by Benjamin Squires. Original Superman theme composed by JOHN WILLIMAS". This is not made to confuse or fool anyone.

[@NitroKIDD]

This is Epic! I love how you just combined Zimmer and Williams. Well effin' done mate!

Damn, this goes hard man, you completely surprised me with the way you reinterpreted the original Superman theme. You really thought outside the box with this, especially with the new chords underneath the old melody. I need to step up my composing game 😅 Well done!

[@lMr.Indian]

Sir Benjamin you dont know how Much i love Williams theme and this is the modern version of it which is epic. Thank you

[@CalicoTMH]

To be sure, the composer on "Superman: Legacy" is listed on IMDb as being John Murphy. This is an excellent piece of music nonetheless, but, just thought to clarify things.

[@writingref]

yeah but they ARE mixing in some John Williams theme - the teaser trailer has a teaser. It just won't be this blatant

[@CalicoTMH]

​​@@writingrefyes, know, I'd seen the poster release yesterday, and the teaser trailer today, and can hear the classic John Williams echoes embedded in the new music, and all I'm saying is that John Murphy (long-time James Gunn collaborator) is the composer of the film, and not Benjamin Squires. The piece we hear here is a great piece, but - as far as we might know from official sources - it's not a piece associated with the film, unless Benjamin Squires can clarify that it is.

[@user-pr5py8cw9x]

@@CalicoTMH Thank you!! I was confused because I know John Murphy is the composer. But Benjamin titled this video "Superman (2025)." That's so deceitful, confusing people like that. SMH.

Wow i can hear both previous themes this is so impressive

[@AntN]

This is very good Mr Squires. I appreciated how you played with the classic track and set up a couple of expectations only to take it into a different and fresher direction. It must be hard to compose something new for such an iconic character with such an iconic soundtrack. To have the shadow of what came before over you, but to acknowledge it and use it, and yet not be subservient to it or just derivative of it. I think you have done very well here. Thank you.

[@husker4life109]

If this is the actual theme i love this

[@rishabhshah9261]

Thank you for this!!! Currently on loop ❤

[@teto85]

Grownig up, Superman was my hero. Mr Reeve and Mr Williams made something wondrous. This music alone will be worth the price of admission for me. It evokes, it sings, Superman. Masterful work. Thank you.

[@tukiluka]

Can I start off by saying this is absolutely golden! Hans did a fantastic job… JW laid a groundwork that changed scores into iconic themes with his work on Superman (seriously, as a kid, I just thought that was Superman’s music in every medium… I didn’t realize it was just a score to a movie). This Benjamin guy was up against it. However I’m going to give my hot take, and I should stress that the negative is trounced by the positive… but when the theme really kicks in with the major chords at 1:55 or thereabouts, it just feels like the build up and modernization is now fighting the original theme… and something feels slightly… off. It needs a far better ear than mine to completely break down the theory of what is “off” about those notes. I can forgive it, given the immense expectations from this score and the amazing build up and reworking on this already well known masterpiece… but that’s just my hot take. Also, for those commenting on how this is a merge of Zimmer and Williams, I feel that’s an insult. It doesn’t have Zimmer tones at all… Zimmer’s amazing piece was it’s own thing… and even he reworked JW’s theme by keeping the same key and many of the same notes/progressions, just restyling them into something new (like how all Bond songs are built off the film’s original score riff). This isn’t a blending of Williams and Zimmer, this is Williams and Squires all the way. Well done, young squire! PS - shoutout to a great composer: John Ottman. His Superman Returns score was a beauty, and actually the only Superman Score I own. Less of a rework than Squires’ theme, but a beauty nonetheless. “How Could You Leave Us” = *chef’s kiss*
