Jared Leto has set the internet abuzz with excitement as he teased the first look of “Tron: Ares” on his Instagram account. The upcoming film is poised to be the latest addition to the beloved Tron franchise, promising a unique and thrilling experience for fans.
Currently in production in Vancouver, “Tron: Ares” stars Leto in the lead role of Ares, a computer program dispatched from the digital realm into the real world on a perilous mission to introduce artificial intelligence beings to humanity. Joining Leto are a talented ensemble cast including Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson.
Despite facing delays due to the SAG-AFTRA dual strikes, production on the film is now back on track, with a slated release expected in 2025. Directed by Joachim Rønning, known for his work on “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” “Tron: Ares” promises to build upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology, and storytelling that the franchise is known for.
The film will serve as a follow-up to the groundbreaking 1982 science fiction film “Tron” and its 2010 sequel “Tron: Legacy.” While the previous installments primarily explored the digital realm, “Tron: Ares” is set to delve deeper into the real world as a sentient computer program crosses over into human territory, challenging the unprepared populace.
Produced by a team including Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Leto, Emma Ludbrook, and Steven Lisberger, with Russell Allen serving as executive producer, “Tron: Ares” promises to captivate audiences with its blend of action, technology, and imagination.
As anticipation builds for the latest chapter in the Tron saga, fans eagerly await further updates and glimpses into the futuristic world of “Tron: Ares.”
