Wade Wilson will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
Deadpool has found his composer, and it’s none other than Dutch musician Tom Holkenborg, aka, Junkie XL.
Junkie XL, who shared the news on his Twitter, began his career as an electronica and techno-based artist before he eventually began scoring video games like Need for Speed: Underground, and films like 300: Rise of an Empire.
His most recent work includes the soundtrack for Mad Max: Fury Road, and the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which he will co-compose with Hans Zimmer.
We absolutely love Junkie XL’s score for Fury Road. Each track is able to convey the manic energy, chaos, and beauty of the film through a smart mix of orchestral and electronic sounds.
A prime example:

If anyone can create a score that compliments the craziness that will be Deadpool, it has to be Junkie XL.
Deadpool slices into theaters on February 12, 2016.
