Captain Marvel isn’t just Marvel’s first movie to feature a female superhero, it’s proving to be their first in a number of areas. The film will also mark their first time with a woman director, Anna Boden, who is working alongside her usual partner Ryan Fleck. And finally, Marvel is taking the step to hire their first female composer as Pinar Toprak will be providing the score.
Toprak isn’t one of the big names associated with film composing, but she’s been around since 2003 and has worked on a ton of projects, including the Krypton TV series, Justice League, and the popular Fortnite video game. She’ll have a chance to give Captain Marvel a sound completely different from the likes of Hans Zimmer, Michael Giacchino, and others who have defined the genre for so long.
Starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Annette Bening, Lee Pace, and more, Captain Marvel opens March 8th 2019.
