We all know there's talk of a Naruto movie being made by Lionsgate, with Michael Gracey (the guy who did The Greatest Showman) directing. I, personally, am skeptic that the movie's gonna be anything other than complete trash. Adapting Naruto to the silver screen is a tough job and having a VFX specialist with only one mediocre movie under his belt take up this job is not the way to go - but let's say this movie does work somehow. Who do you think should do the soundtrack?

I know that fans love Yasuharu Takanashi and that they'd probably want him to do the soundtrack, but while I too love his work, I don't think it would fit in well in a movie. So I was thinking of Ludwig Goransson, the man who did Black Panther soundtrack with Takanashi being a consultant. Everytime I see that movie, I get some strong Naruto vibes from the soundtrack (the story also hits some pretty similar beats, but it's not the point) and I think he'd do an amazing job at it.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
