Most Innovative Companies: The Walt Disney Company
Today, as International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world, Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel takes flight, introducing a new and powerful Super Hero to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as well as the MCU’s first stand-alone, female title character. The highly anticipated film posted $20.7 million domestic in Thursday night previews, thanks to moviegoers across the globe who are eager to see Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) go “higher, further, faster.”
In celebration of the film’s release and International Women’s Day, Women@Disney—a Business Employee Resource Group at The Walt Disney Company—today hosted a special panel for Disney employees that featured some of the talented women of Marvel Studios who brought Captain Marvel to the screen. They spoke to the film’s underlying message of female empowerment and gender inclusion, as well as the studio’s commitment that the Marvel Cinematic Universe truly represents the world of its fans.
