Lexus LC500 to appear in Marvel Studios' Black Panther

Prior to the opening of Comic-Con International: San Diego, Lexus and Marvel have announced a collaboration to pair the first ever 2018 Lexus LC with Marvel's dynamic Black Panther character in the highly anticipated film - Marvel Studios' Black Panther - slated to hit theatres on 16^th February 2018.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, and starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong'o, the film follows T'Challa, who, after the events of Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take his place as King.

"Marvel continuously captures audiences through charismatic characters and inspiring stories - the ideal fit for Lexus' mission to craft amazing, engaging experiences," said Brian Bolain, General Manager, Lexus Marketing. "The LC's aggressive styling, high performance and agile handling are a perfect fit for the Black Panther's quick, cat-like reflexes and superhuman feats. We're excited to see the duo in action."
