One of the most memorable moments of Marvel's Black Panther trailer was its final shot - which showed T'Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) jumping over a car crash and landing on a moving car.
That moment has been immortalized in a new still, which you can see below.
The new photo comes courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, which recently unveiled a partnership between Black Panther and Lexus, which produces the car used in the scene.
The company will be offering an invite-only Black Panther-inspired party during this week's San Diego Comic-Con, as well as a special tie-in graphic novel.
The graphic novel will be written by Fabian Nicieza (X-Men, Deadpool), and drawn by Scott 'Rahzzah' Wilson (Secret Wars: Agents of Atlas) and Szymon Kudanski (Spawn, Green Arrow). It will follow T'Challa using a Lexus LC 500 to fight a foe.
"This campaign clicked from the get-go." Mindy Hamilton, Marvel's senior VP of Global Partnerships, explained. "We have this bold, sophisticated hero stepping into the spotlight for the first time, and it's been a blast to work with the Lexus team to build out a story that'll familiarize fans with T'Challa as well as his advanced home nation of Wakanda."

Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" follows T'Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life
