It’s always been a favoured local brand, but now Lexus is revving up some Hollywood types with one of its rides.

Men In Black: International, due to be released in the UAE on Thursday, will feature an RC F Sport Coupe, boasting a V8 engine providing 478hp, as part of the manufacturer's role as the film's official vehicle provider.

The car will be driven by a pair of somberly dressed characters called Agent H and Agent M, played by Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, and it’s a virtual cert the car will have some damage come the closing curtain.

Lexus provided a fleet of custom-made RC Fs to Sony Pictures for this latest release in the Men in Black franchise, which was filmed in the US, Italy, Morocco and the UK.
