Captain Marvel – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 2019 Marvel Studios superhero film Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The original score was composed by Pinar Toprak, marking the first time a woman scored a Marvel Cinematic Universe feature film. Toprak’s music blends orchestral power, electronic textures, and heroic thematic material, shaping a distinct sonic identity for Carol Danvers while supporting the film’s cosmic scale and 1990s setting.
The soundtrack album was released March 8, 2019 via Hollywood Records / Marvel Music, coinciding with the film’s theatrical premiere. It contains 29 original score tracks, running approximately 65 minutes, and is available on major digital platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. CD and vinyl editions were also issued.
Toprak’s score balances dynamic action cues with emotional character-driven themes, gradually building Captain Marvel’s heroic motif across the film. The orchestration combines bold brass, driving percussion, and atmospheric synth layers to reflect both intergalactic conflict and personal discovery.
Licensed music note: The film features several licensed 1990s songs — including “Just a Girl” by No Doubt and “Come As You Are” by Nirvana — which are not included on the official score album.
