‘Tron: Ares’ Trailer: First Look at Disney’s Sci-Fi Sequel

Tron is back, more than 40 years after the original sci-fi movie hit theaters.
Disney has released the first trailer for Tron: Ares, the third film in the “Tron” franchise after the 1982 original and the 2010 sequel “Tron: Legacy.”
Oscar winner Jared Leto leads the film, which includes original star Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn.

Leto plays Ares, one of the programs from the digital universe tasked to enter the real world. The cast also includes Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Desjardins, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro and Gillian Anderson. Notably, Peters plays Julian Dillinger, who shares a last name with David Warner’s Ed Dillinger, the villain from the first film.
“It’s really unbelievable to think we made the original in 1982,” Bridges said when “Tron: Ares” was unveiled in the 2024 D23 Expo. “We never thought we would have this legacy that’s continued on all these years.”
It was also revealed that Nine Inch Nails, the industrial rock and electronica band founded by Trent Reznor and joined in 2016 by frequent collaborator Atticus Ross, are scoring the film.
Reznor and Ross have won Oscars for their scores for 2010’s “The Social Network” and 2020’s “Soul.” They also won Grammys for their soundtracks to “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and “Soul.” Most recently, they scored Guadagnino’s hit tennis film “Challengers.”
“Tron: Ares” hits theaters Oct. 10.
