Composer Junkie XL Will Not Be Back for 'Deadpool 2'
Junkie XL has quickly become a major composer in the industry, having scored Batman v Superman and Deadpool alone in 2016, and Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015. But now, in the wake of Tim Miller's departure, we've learned that the composer will not be back for the sequel either.
Junkie XL, or, Tom Holkenborg, confirmed the news via social media. His letter reads as follows:
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.

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
