Turkish-American composer Pinar Toprak has been hired to compose the score for Captain Marvel, which will premiere in March of next year.

Even if you're not a film score buff, there's a good chance you're already familiar with Toprak's work. In addition to writing additional music for Justice League in 2017, she is responsible for some of the incredibly catchy music from Fortnite. (Yes, the stuff that is stuck in your head all the time.)

Toprak will be the first woman to score a Marvel film -- or any major comic book film, for that matter.

"It's an incredible honor to be part of the Marvel Universe," she wrote in an Instagram post on Friday. "So many thoughts racing through my head. And the main one is gratitude."
