There has been a lot of attention put on “Captain Marvel,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first female-led film and its 21st film overall.

Like 2017’s “Wonder Woman” before it, “Captain Marvel” is being marketed and seen as an important film in terms of female representation in Hollywood. “Wonder Woman” and “Captain Marvel” are certainly not the first female-led superhero films, but they are the first ones of substance and quality.
