Despite the legions of naysayers predicting that Captain Marvel would be a flop, it's gone on to be yet another billion-dollar success for Disney and Marvel Studios. A great deal of the film's marketing focused on it being the first female-fronted superhero effort in the MCU, and to bolster these feminist credentials, the studio seemed determined to make sure as much of the behind the scenes talent as possible were women. One key factor in this was the June 2018 announcement that Captain Marvel would be the first MCU film released with a score by a female composer, Pinar Toprak.
