Antonius Tom Holkenborg - aka Junkie XL - will not be returning to score Deadpool 2, after lending his talents to the original.

The news dropped last November, with the composer deciding to exit the project after Tim Miller did the same.

Junkie XL has had an interesting relationship with superhero movies as of late.

Most recently, he was "replaced" by Danny Elfman on Justice League, which was presumably a result of Joss Whedon - who took over directing duties from Zack Snyder - having a different vision for the film.

Deadpool 2's new composer has not yet been revealed.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
