Wonder Woman 1984 (soundtrack)
The Wonder Woman 1984 soundtrack is the musical score and compilation of songs featured in the 2020 superhero film Wonder Woman 1984, directed by Patty Jenkins. The score was composed by Hans Zimmer, marking his return to the Wonder Woman franchise after contributing to the score of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The soundtrack is largely instrumental, featuring Zimmer's signature blend of orchestral arrangements, electronic elements, and thematic motifs that complement the film's 1980s setting and emotional tone. Key themes are associated with Wonder Woman (Diana Prince), Max Lord, and Barbara Minerva/Cheetah. The score attempts to capture the era's sonic landscape while simultaneously providing a heroic and emotional backdrop to the film's narrative.
Beyond the instrumental score, the soundtrack also includes several licensed songs from the 1980s that are integrated into the film to establish its time period and cultural context. These songs are curated to reflect the popular music trends of the decade.
The Wonder Woman 1984 soundtrack was released digitally and physically, typically coinciding with the film's theatrical release. It has received generally positive reviews, with many praising Zimmer's work in capturing the film's retro aesthetic and emotional depth. The score is notable for its use of synths and incorporating the pre-existing "Wonder Woman" theme established in previous DC Extended Universe films.
