During last night’s Super Bowl, Lexus dropped an epic Black Panther commercial promoting its 2018 Lexus LS 500 F Sport.

The action-packed clip, titled “Long Live The King,” sees Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) completing a mission — because that’s what superheroes tasked with the responsibility of keeping the world safe have to do.

When it’s finally time for Boseman to make his great escape, he asks Shuri if his ride is “ready to go.” Coming through in the clutch, Shuri (played by Letitia Wright) races to him just in the nick of time.

The best part is Black Panther jumping from the top of a bridge and landing right in the passenger’s seat of the Lexus sports car. Talk about exhilarating!

The commercial adds to anticipation for the film’s release in theaters on Feb. 16. If you’re like us and dying for your daily dose of Black Panther juice, take a look at the thrilling Lexus ad below.
