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 16th 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."
