After this weekend, it’s Wonder Woman‘s world! DC’s iconic character has successfully made the leap to the big screen as a solo heroine, and we have a feeling that we’ll be seeing Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman for many years to come. Gadot made her debut in the role during last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which also gave Wonder Woman a new theme for the modern era. Now it’s time for that theme to get a metal makeover!
Eric Calderone (a.k.a. Erock) has posted his heavy metal inspired take on the Wonder Wonder music created by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL, which was already pretty metal to begin with. “I’ve seen this requested for a long time and since today is the premiere, I figured I’d give it a shot,” wrote Calderon on his YouTube page. “I obviously know this is from BvS, but it’s basically dubbed as WW’s theme. Hope ya dig!”
One of the reasons that we think this piece will stand the test of time is that it easily lends itself to different styles. Composer Rupert Gregson-Williams adapted Zimmer and Junkie XL’s music as Wonder Woman’s theme in her solo movie, and he added more orchestral touches as well. For comparison’s sake, here’s an excerpt from the Wonder Woman soundtrack that was posted earlier this month by Warner Bros.’ Watertower Music.
