The supercar is even more stunning on the big screen.
The hype surrounding Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther movie is real. Superhero fans were eager to see more and auto enthusiasts hoped to get a closer look at the handsome Lexus LX. Lexus has tweeted a clip from the film, giving us an even better view of the sports car.
The video is a short 30 second clip in which Chadwick Boseman’s character Black Panther does a backflip onto a Lexus LC. Letitia Wright is behind the wheel. The scene shows the sports car weaving along a busy street and crossing a bridge before it speeds off towards the horizon. Lexus captions the clip, “watch technology, physicality, and intelligence merge.”
In this #LexusLC, Marvel Studios’ BlackPanther collaboration, technology, physicality, and intelligence combine. See #BlackPanther at theaters on 2/16 https://t.co/g9FBVwEomH pic.twitter.com/jxK8DhhrJr

This is the first ever time that the Lexus LC 500 has been seen on film. Lexus and Marvel will also accompany the movie with a graphic novel that highlights the balance between man-machine. The book will be released shortly after it’s finished. Fabian Nicieza will tell the story, while Scott “Rahzzah” Wilson and Szymon Kumbranski will complete the cover art.
Black Panther is the latest movie in Marvel’s successful superhero series. It will arrive in theaters in just weeks, on February 16, 2018. The Lexus LC 500 is meanwhile a sports car that can sprint at 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.8 seconds. We hope that more Lexus products will be featured in the movie.
