James Gunn's Superman doesn't have the same level of pop music needle drops as most of his previous films, but the movie's closing credits play out over the charmingly upbeat song 'Punkrocker' by Swedish group Teddybears, featuring the legendary godfather of punk himself, Iggy Pop on vocals. And despite the raucous reputation of his early career, Iggy Pop tells THR he's on board with Superman's message of kindness.
"I always thought the track had soul," Iggy Pop, now 78 and still touring, tells THR. "Superman is the best friend you could have."
