I had the honor of joining Claudia from Trendy Latina for the Lexus advanced preview of Men In Black™: International at the Crosby Street Hotel with an after party at Intersect by Lexus to show off how Men In Black™ Agents drive Lexus vehicles.
MEN IN BLACK™: INTERNATIONAL Cast
I loved the cast in this movie! Chris Hemsworth (Agent H) and Liam Neeson (Agent High T) speed into the first scene as they were about to destroy The Hive from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Then we are introduced to Agent M played by Tessa Thompson. We learned of her encounter with an alien as a young girl, played by Mandeiya Flory.
Fast forward 20 years later and she is trying to land a job with the FBI to save the world from aliens. She finds herself in the Men In Black secret office and wins the heart of Agent O, the chief of MIB Worldwide to give her a chance to be in the agency.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers; but I will share that the movie will keep you wondering up until the very end; and you will also grow fond of the aliens in the movie, too. My favorite was Pawny (voice of Kumail Nanjiani). Not only is he cute, but he had a great sense of humor!
The Men In Black ™ Agents Drive Lexus Vehicles
The 2020 Lexus RC F is the galaxy-saving advanced alien-fighting vehicle of the Men In Black agents on earth. The cars in the movie were so sleek and sexy.
This eight-speed automatic 2020 Lexus RC F is a 5.0-liter V8 with 472 horsepower (351 kilowatts), and 395 pound-feet (535 Newton-meters) of torque. In human terms…. this car can go really fast in a short period of time!
When in space, the other Lexus vehicle that was an alien-fighting, transforming spacecraft was the Lexus QZ 618 Galactic Enforcer. It uses Quasar Power Source technology so that it can travel anywhere in the universe within seconds.
Notice how the RC F’s spindle grille and the QZ 618 remain the same in both versions of the vehicle.
What I loved about MEN IN BLACK™: INTERNATIONAL
Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the first MEN IN BLACK™ movies. Men In Black™: International fills you in to some of the past events throughout the movie. Some of my favorite elements were:
- Men weren’t the only ones in black, women were also lead players in this movie. Tessa Thompson was involved in all of the action and fighting as she was supporting Agent H with his mission. Emma Thompson was the chief of MIB worldwide, also known as Agent O. Rebecca Ferguson’s role is the lead villain Riza, and past lover of Agent H,
- There were special winks and humor intertwined into the movie. My favorite one was when Agent H was in a fight and reached out for a specific tool/weapon to use against the enemy.
- My favorite quote of the movie was from Agent T, played by Liam Neeson. “The universe has a way of leading you to where you’re supposed to be at the moment you’re supposed to be there.” That has been my personal theme of my year.
- The dynamic between Agent H and Agent M. I love the quick wit between the two of them.
MEN IN BLACK™: INTERNATIONAL Trailer
Lexus HQ At Intersect
After the movie screening, we were taken by bus to The Lexus HQ At Intersect. What an amazing space!
My eyes were immediately drawn to brightly lit area where the Lexus was on display along with several of the movie props, and costumes that Agent H and Agent M wore.
Real items from the MEN IN BLACK™: INTERNATIONAL movie were also on display at HQ At Intersect.
Lexus And Dewar’s After Party
Dewar’s also treated us with special Men In Black™: International cocktails.
- “Covert Operation” – Dewar’s White Label Blended Scotch
- “Alien Antidote” – Honey-Ginger Syrup, Dewar’s 12- Year Blended Scotch Whisky, Fresh lemon juice, Islay single-malt Scotch

I wanted to try them all, but I chose the Intersect because I loved all the essential oils used when making the drink.
