Lexus Reveals Marvel Studios' 'Eternals' Vehicles
Lexus crafts luxury experiences inspired by people. Now, it's drawing inspiration from super heroes with cosmic super powers, too – as the exclusive automotive partner of Marvel Studios' "Eternals." Lexus and Marvel Studios have collaborated to design 10 character-themed concept vehicles, based on all 10 super heroes from the highly anticipated film.
Each otherworldly custom-wrapped "Eternals" automobile is inspired by the unique individual armor design, iconography and super power of each Eternal. In addition, a golden glow emanates from the vehicles' grilles and underbodies, reflecting the characters' shared energy signature as seen in the film. The vehicles will be featured in various events and media extensions, including the red carpet premiere.
The lineup of custom-wrapped "Eternals" vehicles includes:
Earlier this month, Lexus and Marvel Studios debuted a long-form video called "Parking Spot," starring Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo. It was directed by the Russo brothers, who helmed four Marvel Studios' films including "Avengers: Endgame," one of the highest grossing films of all time. In the two-minute piece, Kingo has to solve a very human problem before he can join the epic Super Hero battle happening downtown — finding a safe parking spot for his new Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance, the most powerful IS ever, with a 472-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 engine.

- Gilgamesh x Lexus LX: As the strongest Eternal, Gilgamesh, played by Don Lee, is a kindred spirit to the biggest, most powerful Lexus SUV, the LX.

"After so successfully telling a co-branded story on the original Black Panther film, we're thrilled to be teaming up with Lexus once again. Combined with our custom spot directed by the Russo Brothers and starring Kumail Nanjiani in-character as Kingo, these Eternals-inspired vehicles show that exciting collaborative storytelling can extend even beyond traditional media," said Mindy Hamilton, SVP, Global Partnership Marketing at Marvel Studios.
