She has dedicated more than 19 years to the craft of visual effects, animation, production, and post‑production. She joined Marvel Studios in 2009 and steadily rose through roles from visual effects coordinator on productions such as Spider-Man 3 (2007) and Speed Racer (2008), to visual effects executive and eventually Vice President of Visual Effects and Animation, a role she has held since 2019. Over more than a decade at Marvel, she has contributed to nearly thirty Marvel feature films across all phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Iron Man 3 (2013), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and Black Panther (2018), among others. In her leadership capacity at Marvel, Costa has overseen the development and integration of studio‑side pipelines that streamline visual effects, animation, stereoscopic 3D, post‑production, and digital intermediate workflows.
