Lexus teamed up with Marvel’s Black Panther for its 2018 Super Bowl commercial — which includes footage from the actual movie.
The advert for the LS 500 Sport shows Chadwick Boseman’s character from the new movie, King T’Challa aka Black Panther, clinging to the roof of a speeding car being driven by Okoye, played by Danai Gurira.
He then attacks some bad guys and gets back a quantity of mythical metal Vibranium which they stole from T’Challa’s home nation of Wakanda, before putting it safely in the trunk.
She drives off, before T’Challa’s sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, gets another car to drive and pick him up while she pilots it remotely — allowing him to turn back into getting him to a World Leadership Conference just in time.
