Marvel’s Doctor Strange to Drive a Lamborghini Huracan
It’s almost become a bit of a norm for today’s superheroes to drive flashy supercars, as it’s the case with Ironman, Batman and others. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Marvel’s latest franchise features one of Sant’Agata’s newest and wildest bulls.
Doctor Strange, the newest Marvel Comics movie features a wealthy neurosurgeon who loses the use of his hands in a car crash and who, in his quest to regain their function, gains the mystical powers that make him a superhero. While most of us would wonder about Lamborghini’s product placement skills in a movie targeted toward a young audience and revolving around a crash, the brand’s executives say that Doctor Strange fit’s the the brand’s identity to a tee.
It’s rumored that up to six different vehicles were given to Marvel Comics for the filming of the movie, and that at least one was badly damaged during a scene, though this has yet to be confirmed or denied by Marvel or Lamborghini.
“Lamborghini was unquestionably the perfect fit for this project as the Huracán naturally unleashes ones inner Super Hero. The unique story of this new kind of hero mirrors that of the raging bull’s visionary founder Ferruccio Lamborghini; a man capable of creating cars that induce dreams in those who see them and thrills in those who drive them,” said Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Automobili Lamborghini. “Much like many Lamborghini owners, Doctor Strange is a bold, ambitious and pioneering character who reaches beyond the realm of the ordinary and thrives in any situation, despite the challenges ahead.”
The movie’s superstars recently made an appearance on the red carpet in Los Angeles, and that included the raging bull’s Huracan as well. The stars as well as the paparazzi were all keen to photograph the supercar on its own, as well as pose in front of it. Because after all, the car loves a little spotlight, too!
