on Junkie XL won’t score ‘Deadpool 2’ after director Tim Miller’s departure

Tom Holkenborg, better known to fans as Junkie XL, announced on social media today that he will not be back to score Deadpool 2. He cited director Tim Miller’s departure as the main reason. Check out his full statement below.

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to score the upcoming Deadpool Movie. I love this character and creating his and the movie’s original score was a monumental chapter in my life, personally and professionally.

Since it was revealed that Deadpool’s brilliant creative director Tim Miller will not be involved in the project anymore, I have undertaken some soul searching. Tim was the driving force behind Deadpool and me getting involved in this amazing project. Deadpool without Tim at the helm just does not sit right with me and that is why I have decided not to be involved in the second chapter.

It was a difficult decision, as I love the project so much and I know how eagerly the next installment will be anticipated, it’s hard to walk away from something so unique, but it also has to feel right.

Hope everyone understands. Onward and upward.

Love,
Tom

    I didn’t even hear the score. And why would you apologize, for not making money and getting reputation for youself?! :D

    Tom seems like a very nice guy, but honestly…. His scores are uninspired and beyond unoriginal. Let’s be real, does anyone even remember the “Deadpool main theme”? Of course not, because it’s nothing worth remembering. I hope he leaves Justice League as well. Sorry, but I seriously do not want another percussion filled track loaded with loud and relentless honking noises as the main theme for the freaking Justice League.
    I think his style (or lack thereof) can fit certain movies. Mad Max for example… The chaotic and hectic nature of that film matches Tom’s quite frankly undeveloped composing skills. But compare Mad Max’s OST to something composed by the likes of John Williams and then tell me Tom is even a remotely worthwhile composer. He really isn’t.
    Brother in Arms is a cool track, but having him as the main composer for JL honestly hurts my brain. No thank you.
