Brian May collaborates on Masters of the Universe film score

Queen guitarist Brian May has collaborated with composer Daniel Pemberton on the musical score for the film Masters of the Universe. Pemberton, who sought to avoid a generic superhero sound, aimed to create a score reminiscent of a rock band like Queen, drawing inspiration from the band's work on the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

After months of unsuccessful attempts to contact May, Pemberton managed to connect with the guitarist while both were working at Abbey Road Studios in London. May, who expressed nostalgia for the He-Man franchise due to his son's interest in it, participated in the recording process over three days at his home studio.
