Tron: Ares posters reveal fresh look at characters played by Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto and more
Official posters for Tron: Ares reveal a fresh look at several main characters: Flynn, Ares, Greta Lee’s Eve Kim, Evan Peters’ Julian Dillinger, Jodie Turner-Smith’s Athena, and Gillian Anderson’s Elisabeth Dillinger.
The cast also includes Hasan Minhaj as Ajay Singh, Arturo Castro as Seth Flores, and Cameron Monaghan as Caius. The movie’s official log line reads, “A highly sophisticated Program called Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.”
Joachim Rønning, best known for directing 2019’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and co-directing 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales with Espen Sandberg, helmed the movie. Jesse Wigutow penned the screenplay from a story he developed with David Digilio.
Conversations about a sequel to Tron: Legacy have been around since 2010. In early 2015, Disney reportedly greenlit Tron 3 with Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski at the helm. However, the studio scrapped the project a few months later (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Reports about the current rendition of the third Tron movie began circulating in 2017. A considerable portion of filming for Tron: Ares took place in Vancouver, British Columbia.
In a June 2025 interview with Empire, Bridges spoke about his return in Tron: Ares. Flynn is the protagonist of the movie, but he’s seemingly destroyed along with Clu, an updated computer program also played by Bridges through digital de-aging and voiceover.
“Yeah, I was a bit surprised,” Bridges said about reprising the role. “You know, this is the Grid. The whole digital universe is all up for grabs. It’s all possible in that place. It worked out that I still have some sort of consciousness.”
Tron: Ares debuts in US theaters on October 10, 2025.
