It’s December, which means it’s Spotify Wrapped time. Every year, people have fun using the feature to look back at their past year in music. On X, Gunn shared an edited playlist of his top songs, noting he couldn’t share his entire Spotify Wrapped because “ALL” of his most-listened songs are in Man of Tomorrow. This means the upcoming film should feature a catchy soundtrack, just like Gunn’s previous movies.
Why James Gunn Can’t Share Man of Tomorrow‘s Songs
On the surface, some fans may not understand why Gunn won’t share his complete top songs list. So much of the plot of Man of Tomorrow is being kept under wraps that there seemingly wouldn’t be much harm in revealing some out-of-context song titles. But the lack of concrete information regarding the film is exactly the reason why Gunn isn’t revealing the tracks. There probably isn’t a spoiler on the level of “Qui-Gon’s Noble End,” but just knowing the song titles could give fans clues about what Gunn has in store. He doesn’t choose songs just because they sound cool; his picks frequently augment individual moments and the movie’s overall tone. Right now, there’s no need to peel back the curtain on Man of Tomorrow.
It isn’t surprising to hear the entirety of Gunn’s top songs list consists of tracks he’s planning on using in Man of Tomorrow. The director is very meticulous when curating his soundtracks and has the songs picked out ahead of time. In the past, Gunn has actually played music during filming to help the actors get in the right mindset and rhythm for scenes, so he does everything he can beforehand to make sure he’s chosen the correct songs for the movie. This year, as Gunn was writing the Man of Tomorrow script, he obviously spent a lot of time listening to his mystery tracks to ensure they were exactly what he wanted.
