Lexus Teamed Up With Marvel Studios’ Black Panther To Design A Custom LC 500

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther is projected to break a number of records at the box office but what you might not know is that the franchise is breaking a number of movie norms off camera too. Lexus teamed up with the franchise to drop a custom LC 500 into the film as the hero car. For the film, Marvel also commissioned Ruth Carter to design the intricate and awe-inspiring costumes for the movie.

Everyone is anticipating the release of Marvel Studios' Black Panther, which will easily be one of the year's biggest movies. But beyond the hype around the film itself, one of the coolest things to come out of Wakanda is Marvel Studios' collaboration with Lexus. Last fall Lexus unveiled not one but two Marvel Studios’ Black Panther iterations of their popular LC model. 

When thinking about #HowFashionTravels in the context of Lexus, beyond the runway into the big screen, Afro-futurism clearly embodies the notion of sleek design and a rich attention to detail—prevalent throughout Marvel Studios' Black Panther. It’s especially apparent in the costume design, courtesy of costume designer Ruth Carter. In the video above, you can find out more about Marvel Studios' Black Panther, Lexus, Carter, and more.
