Hans Zimmer was composer for Wonder Woman in 1984, replacing Rupert Gregson-Williams who scored the first film. Zimmer previously scored Man of Steel and , the first and second films in the DC Extended Universe, and the latter which also featured Wonder Woman.[2] He is joined by David Fleming[3] and Steve Mazzaro,[4] who provided additional music.
