As a seasoned gamer and film music enthusiast, I can’t help but feel envious of Rob Simonsen’s unique experience composing for Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Having attended countless Comic-Cons myself and being an avid fan of both Deadpool and Wolverine, I can only imagine the thrill he must have felt when given the opportunity to work on this highly anticipated film.
Composer Rob Simonsen, known for scoring films featuring Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, shared some information about his approach to creating the music for this weekend’s Marvel release.
At the San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, Simonsen joined a discussion with a group of film and TV composers which included Christopher Lennertz (“The Boys”), Leopold Ross (“Shogun”), Michael Abels (“Star Wars: The Acolyte”), Sherri Chung (“Found”), and moderator Michael Giacchino (“The Batman”). During this event, Simonsen expressed his gratitude to director Shawn Levy and producer-actor Reynolds for enabling him to focus on enjoying the music creation process.
After Giacchino jokingly asked Simonsen if he felt pressure knowing that the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe rests on his shoulders, Simonsen made it clear that the bond that he built with Reynolds and Levy on their 2022 Netflix film The Adam Project carried over to Deadpool & Wolverine.
“Marvel greatly helped Shawn and Ryan in creating their movie, and we had just finished working together on ‘The Adam Project.’ It was a close-knit team with them, and this project was no exception. I felt secure and sheltered amidst it all.” (Simonsen has worked on films like ‘The Whale,’ ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife,’ and the upcoming ‘It Ends With Us.’)
He added that his focus was on “shooting for the stars — not really thinking about trying to satisfy some corporate agenda, but rather just thinking about what I want to feel.” Praising the film as “exhaustingly funny,” Simonsen continued, “Really, my job was just to make myself feel fun. Every day, it was just trying to make myself laugh.”
Simonsen pointed out that the film’s carefree attitude benefited his work and shared, “For me, the risks may still be significant, but there’s something enjoyable about not taking things too seriously.” He also valued the project’s diverse range of moods: “We get to create intense and emotional scenes, while at other times we can be playful and quirky. It was a versatile platform that allowed us to express ourselves freely, and truthfully, it was an exciting experience.”
I was fascinated to learn that despite working together on what could potentially be the blockbuster film of the summer, Shawn Levy and I never actually met in person. Instead, our collaboration unfolded entirely through Zoom and FaceTime sessions. It’s just how things roll with Shawn – we’ve found a rhythm that works for us. I found it amusing to receive feedback over video calls for such a high-profile project.
