One of the many great pleasures in the already popular reception to the recently released Superman film has been the work of the actor playing the Kryptonian himself, David Corenswet. There’s already been talk of why Corenswet is the best on-screen Superman, as well as what the future may hold for his take on the character in James Gunn’s DCU.
The success of Superman has also provided an opportunity to get a sense of the fun sides of Corenswet’s personality during the movie’s press tour, unrelated to the red and blue тιԍнтs. He recently let slip an interesting fact about his music taste, much in the vein of actor Pedro Pascal’s enjoyment of the Prince song “Purple Rain.”
David Corenswet Wakes Up To The Indiana Jones Theme Song Every Morning
Mostly Due To His Love Of The Composer Behind It
During a recent appearance on Brittany Broski’s Royal Court YouTube series, Corenswet was asked a variety of questions, including what his life’s entrance music would be. The actor said he’d given a similar response to what his superpower would be, which was the wish to be followed around by the music of famed composer John Williams everywhere that he goes.
He added that while his hypothetical entrance music could include any of the Star Wars music (more of Williams’ creative compositions) or big band jazz sounds, he already uses Indiana Jones’ Raiders of the Lost Ark theme to wake up to every morning. That might seem unusual at face value, but it also makes a lot of sense as well.
There’s Just Something Special About Soundtrack Music
Especially When It Comes To The Grandeur Within It
There’s something momentous within soundtrack music that feels perfect to wake up to, travel with, or have alongside you for any emotional occasion. It might seem initially strange to think anyone could relate to the sounds of The Lord of the Rings, Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, or a sci-fi adventure like Star Wars, for instance.
At the end of the day, though, these are instrumentals written and performed with the exact intention of choreographing the lives and movements of an entire existence of characters. Whether it’s heroes, villains, loves, tragedies, or losses, soundtracks give us our emotional current, and as David Corenswet proves, they’re not just for use on the screen.
