The Zombieland movie along with some new characters.
In Zombieland: Double Tap, the protagonists shack up at the White House and later travel to Elvis Presley's home at Graceland. But they’re destined to reach a commune known as Babylon, where they’ll once again battle zombies, who now have become even more aggressive. Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg reprise their roles as Tallahassee and Columbus, respectively, along with Emma Stone as Wichita and Abigail Breslin as Little Rock. Zoey Deutch makes her franchise debut as Madison, a glammed-out young woman who befriends (and annoys) the main group of survivors.

To begin, Zombieland: Double Tap uses “America the Beautiful” to score a zombie scene outside the White House. Once Columbus’ voiceover provides the audience with an update about new zombie types, the heavy metal classic “Master of Puppets” kicks the film into gear as the protagonists begin a new adventure, similar to what happened in the first movie 10 years ago.
When the group leaves the White House for Graceland in Zombieland: Double Tap, “Freebird” captures their mood and spirit while conversing on the road. The original “Hound Dog” scores an Elvis-themed sequence (a fitting choice), while “Kum Ba Yah” plays over a scene at the characters’ temporary home, Babylon. As Zombieland: Double Tap reaches its climax, "Home on the Range" provides a chill mood, fully in line with the characters' spirit after a zombie battle.
Zombieland: Double Tap concludes with “I’m Alright” during a Bill Murray cameo scene, a reference to the actor’s 1980 movie Caddyshack, and the film’s theme song. Overall, the long-awaited sequel makes sure to use songs that embody the comedic, adventurous aspect that made the first movie special all those years ago.
