Iggy Pop Superman crossover fans are in for a treat with the new James Gunn-directed Superman movie, which features the punk rock icon’s 2006 track “Punkrocker” in the closing credits.

Originally a collaboration between Iggy Pop and Swedish band Teddybears, “Punkrocker” plays at the end of the latest cinematic take on the Man of Steel. Reacting to the song’s inclusion, Pop told The Hollywood Reporter, “I always thought the track had soul.” He added, “Superman is the best friend you could have.”

The new Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Alongside the punk-fueled credits, the film also features a scene that explores the essence of punk rock, paying homage to the genre’s cultural roots.

Blending superhero mythology with a gritty, genre-bending soundtrack, this latest installment marks a fresh direction for the franchise — and a memorable musical moment for fans of both comics and counterculture.
