Starring Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn and Olivia Wilde as Quorra, this 2010 sci-fi spectacle Tron: Legacy has rightfully earned its place as an underrated gem and a growing cult classic on home video. Its breathtaking visuals and iconic soundtrack even inspired a thrilling new ride at Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Now, the Tron universe is expanding with the highly anticipated Tron: Ares. This new film shifts its focus from Legacy's main characters, but it builds directly on an exciting idea from the previous movie's climax: Quorra, an "isomorphic algorithm," stepping out of the digital Grid and into the real world.

Tron: Ares will explore this groundbreaking concept on a much grander scale, with Jared Leto leading the cast as the titular Ares. The core plot revolves around an unprecedented event: more and more advanced algorithms are making the leap from the Grid and entering physical reality. This raises a...

After about a decade and a half, Disney is sending audiences back to the Grid with the upcoming Tron movie, Tron: Ares. The movie will serve as a standalone sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy, which fulfilled long-held hopes for the continuation of the beloved science-fiction saga that began with Tron in 1982. The 2010 sequel introduced a new character in Sam, played by Garrett Hedlund, the son of the genius programmer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), who enters the program to help his father stop a malevolent program from invading the real world. With plot details for the upcoming sequel safely under wraps, fans have wondered whether Sam will be back, especially given that it will also feature his father, Kevin. Hedlund has now cleared things up in his recent interview with Screen Rant.

Tron: Ares seems designed to breathe new life into the franchise, aiming to draw in a new generation of...

Sam Mendes’ ambitious quartet of The Beatles biopics has just added a major creative force behind the scenes. While CinemaCon made headlines last month by confirming the all-star cast — Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison — the question remained: who’s writing them?

It's now been confirmed that Jack Thorne, the Emmy-winning writer behind Netflix’s hit limited series Adolescence, has joined the writing team for the Beatles saga, alongside Jez Butterworth and Peter Straughan (Conclave).

And yes, this project is set to be a true experiment. All four films — each telling the Beatles’ story from a different member’s perspective — will roll out weekly in April 2028, making use of all four Fridays that month. Mendes, producing via Neal Street Productions with Pippa Harris and Julie Pastor, is crafting what might be the most ambitious rock...

2024 was a soft hum for the industry, but this year is already off to an operatic start. How could Hollywood resist pushing a bunch of sequels down our throats? If last year was an appetizer, with Inside Out 2 and the Deadpool/Wolverine tag team, 2025 is arriving with far more plump (just look at what the Minecraft film was able to do) and impossible missions.

Superheroes are obviously back, as they have continued to do so for the last decade. James Gunn’s Superman will be figuring out life again, and with Marvel’s Phase V coming to an end with Thunderbolts*, the new Fantastic Four reboot will hope to erase the sour taste of its previous attempts.

Maybe this time they’ll get it right? Our fingers remain crossed. James Cameron, meanwhile, isn’t done with blue aliens either, and Avatar 3 will likely demand another three hours of your...

In the end — or at least in its penultimate installment — “Daredevil: Born Again” kept things pretty simple. For weeks we’ve noted the contrasts and parallels between Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) as they circled each other ahead of an inevitable showdown.

But it was also always about a man grieving his best friend and fighting the less savory emotions that come with that. Justice was served in the assassination of Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), but was that ever going to be enough for Matt? Will anything?

The twain converge in Episode 108, “Isle of Joy,” directed Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead and written by Jesse Wigutow & Dario Scardapane. After being held hostage and shooting her captor in Episode 7, Heather (Margarita Levieva) is invited to a black and white ball by Mayor Fisk himself — an invitation that Matt rightfully views as a threat. The mere mention of Fisk...

Tron: Ares – The Long-Awaited Return to the Grid Tron: Ares marks the third chapter in the iconic Tron series, and it’s hard to believe that fans are finally getting a new installment after such a lengthy wait. One defining feature of this franchise is the long gaps between films.Fans of the original 1982 Tron had to endure an incredible 28-year wait before Tron: Legacy was released in 2010. And now, after another 15 years, the next film is almost here: Tron: Ares, set for release on October 10, 2025. Directed by Joachim Rønning, with a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow, Jack Thorne, and Tron creator Steven Lisberger, this latest film takes the familiar connection between humans and the digital world to new heights—especially with the collision of these two realms. Plot Overview At the heart of the story is Ares, a highly advanced program that is sent from the digital world to the...

Tron: Ares is due to land in theaters on October 10, 2025, and will feature a gritty and “industrial” score by Nine Inch Nails. You can check out the official synopsis below.

It's been 15 years since moviegoers last took a trip to the Grid in "Tron: Legacy," and while fans of this sci-fi franchise are absolutely champing at the bit for a third installment over a decade later, they might need to readjust their expectations. Because this time, the Grid is coming to us.

Directed by Joachim Rønning, the plot of "Tron: Ares" has been shrouded in secrecy ever since the project was first announced way back in 2017. The film was described as a reboot at the time, but is now being referred to as a standalone sequel that has ties to the established "Tron" universe. We know that it stars Jared Leto as Ares, who is described as "a highly sophisticated program ... sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings." The film also features Greta Lee, Evan Peters,...

The trailer has been released for Tron: Ares. After the trailer was showcased at CinemaCon, it has now been made available to watch online.

In the film, Tron leaves the digital world for the real world, taking on a dangerous mission amid humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings. The new trailer showcases Ares in the real world as police officers are completely unable to keep up with him. A major war is also teased with some of the destruction on display. The trailer can be viewed below.

"With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this installment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial," director Joachim Rønning previously told Empire about the vibe of Tron: Ares. "It’s been important for me to contrast The Grid and the real world.

If you weren’t already worried about AI invading our lives, you might be after watching this trailer.

Following its presentation this past week at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Disney has released a new look at the third film in its long-running sci-fi adventure franchise, “Tron: Ares.” Directed by Joachim Rønning (“The Young Woman and the Sea”) and written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne (“Adolescence”), the film stars Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Gillian Anderson, and the original star of the series, Jeff Bridges. Watch the trailer below.

As per Disney’s official synopsis, “‘Tron: Ares’ follows a highly sophisticated program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with AI beings.”

Leto and Bridges were on hand to showcase footage at CinemaCon, with the former saying of the first film, “It was the ’80s.

The lights went down in the Colosseum just after 3 p.m. on Thursday as a spectacle was about to unfold. Blue, green and red lasers shot out from every corner to fill the venue with light as Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges entered from the side of the stage to talk up their new film Tron: Ares.

Walt Disney also revealed a new look at its tentpole during its CinemaCon presentation at Caesars Palace. The film — a follow-up to the 1982 seminal science-fiction film Tron and the 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy — stars Leto as Ares, a computer program sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission to introduce artificial intelligence beings to humans.

“Well, first off, as a kid I was obsessed with Tron,” said Leto. “It was the ‘80s and the future felt like it was just around the corner. … Tron had action, adventure, spandex — lots of spandex.

As the world grapples with the implications of artificial intelligence, “Tron: Ares” is racing into theaters, offering dazzling visual effects and a trippy adventure set in a distant future. Disney premiered an eye-popping first look at the film at CinemaCon, the annual trade show for theater owners that’s taking place this week in Las Vegas.

On stage, Jared Leto, the film’s star, promised that the new movie “will hit you right in the grid…wherever that is.”

The long-gestating follow-up to 2010’s “Tron: Legacy,” which was itself a long-gestating follow-up to 1982’s “Tron,” follows a highly sophisticated program, Ares, that is sent from the digital world into the real world on a mission. It marks humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.

The trailer unfolded to the atmospheric music of Nine Inch Nails and overflows with atmospheric details — bright red bikes race down highways, slicing cop cars in half.

Covering Caesars Colosseum in an amazing laser light show, Disney unveiled a new teaser at CinemaCon today for Tron: Ares, the latest installment in the 43-year video game movie franchise. Slated for an October 10 theatrical release, the movie is directed by Joachim Rønning.

Jared Leto fanned out onstage with Jeff Bridges next to him: “As a kid I was obsessed with Tron. The future felt it was right around the corner,” Leto said. “It had everything I wanted from a movie — action, adventure and spandex — it took me to a world that I never knew.”

“This movie will hit you right in the grid,” said the House of Gucci star and Dallas Buyers Club Oscar winner.

[Editor’s note: The following review contains spoilers for “Daredevil: Born Again” through Season 1, Episode 4.]

Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) have always had a lot in common, including a shared belief their beloved city needs to be cleaned up. In “Daredevil: Born Again” Episode 4, written by David Feige & Jesse Wigutow and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, Matt faces the limits of his above board legal work when he infers that he’s up against police officers — some of the most dangerous individuals he’ll ever encounter, all protected and propped up by the system he has no choice but to trust.

Matt doesn’t believe for a second that Hector (Kamar de los Reyes) was executed by Punisher Aka Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), and moves right to the obvious answer: it was the cops, because Hector got in their way, and his freedom was both an inconvenience and an insult.

As much as Fisk was and...

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the latest episode of "Daredevil: Born Again."

If there was still any remaining doubt over whether "Daredevil: Born Again" takes place within the familiar confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, well, there shouldn't be. There's the main title, after all, which alludes to both a popular comic book series run and the fact that the Netflix series has been "reborn" into the rest of the MCU. Of course, the first two episodes also included multiple references to the overall franchise that established a shared continuity with Marvel characters such as Joe Bernthal's Punisher (duh), Tom Holland's Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. Now, however, the series has gone even further by directly addressing one of the more forgotten aspects of the wider universe -- and it involves, by far, the worst Disney+ series we've had the misfortune of watching.

Let's...

Exclusive: Tobin Babst, a veteran film and television literary manager, is leaving Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment (Kpe) after 12 years to launch a new venture.

Babst had been a partner at Kpe for more than 12 years. Prior to that, he started his career at UTA, where he served as an agent in the Motion Picture Literary Department for 12 years.

“Northstar’s objective is to simply focus on what matters most: our clients, their careers, and their stories,” Babst told Deadline. “I am thankful for my time at Kpe and the successful years we’ve shared. I wish Aaron Kaplan, Sean Perrone, and all my former colleagues the very best.”

For their part, the partners at Kaplan/Perrone wish Babst well in his new venture.

2024 was a great year for sci-fi fans as we got brilliant films like Dune: Part Two and The Wild Robot. While 2024 was a good year, 2025 will be even better as we will see the release of much-anticipated films like Bong Joon-Ho‘s Mickey 17 and James Cameron‘s Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Dune: Prophecy is an ensemble series with actors from various backgrounds. Telling the story of the creation of the Bene Gesserit, the show features a leading cast including Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, Travis Fimmel, and Jodhi May. The Dune franchise show got decent reviews overall, and recently wrapped up its tenure on Max. Earlier this week, Dune: Prophecy season 2 was officially confirmed, allowing the creators to continue the space-set story.

The primary cast members in the show are women, but Australian-born cast member Fimmel is one with an interesting career history. He has been on TV before, perhaps most notably playing Ragnar Lothbrok in the TV series Vikings. In addition to Vikings, Fimmel's career has included playing the titular jungle-dweller in the 2003 TV series adaptation of Tarzan, as well as a role in the series The Beast. Now, one of Fimmel's key...

It has been years since humans last forayed into the Grid. But all that is in the past now. As Jared Leto looks set to take over the mantle of the sci-fi world in the upcoming Tron sequel, Tron: Ares, fans of the sci-fi game will be really hyped.

It is no secret that the news of Jared Leto joining the movie had cast a doubt on many people’s minds about its prospects. The Suicide Squad star might be an Academy Award winner, but that doesn’t change the fact that his recent track record leaves much to be desired. But Tron: Ares might just have the ammunition to tide over the crisis.

Tron is today regarded as a cult classic, having been one of the most well-liked science fiction movies of its time when it debuted in 1982. Despite receiving mixed reviews for its 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy, Disney decided to go ahead and make another sequel. Tron: Ares will be the following film in the series and will be a stand-alone follow-up to the first two films.

We know that the movie will be led by Jared Leto, as well as that franchise veteran Jeff Bridges will also be coming back to the movie. On top of that, we have a lot of the casting information, as well as a trailer; this is all we have already reported on.

In light of that, director Joachim Rønning shared some updates on the movie, explaining that the film’s tone will change when compared to the previous films, and he also confirmed some exciting news about the music.

Its time to re-enter The Grid as we finally have our first proper look at Tron 3 (Tron: Ares). In a new interview with Empire, director Joachim Rnning has teased what we can expect from one of the most integral elements of the movie: the soundtrack. The previous installment, Tron: Legacy, was bolstered by a heart-thumping soundtrack by Daft Punk. This time, The Grid and Rnning turn to the talents of Nine Inch Nails to tell this "emotional" tale.

With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this instalment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial. Its been important for me to contrast The Grid and the real world. In that sense, Nine Inch Nails lends itself perfectly into this new Tron world that we are creating.

What I always look for in any story is a strong emotional core. This film will probably be more emotional than people are expecting.

Last October, the news broke that Marvel Studios had fired Daredevil: Born Again Head Writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman as part of a creative overhaul.

Directors hired to helm the remaining instalments of the 9-episode were also let go, and while some of the material shot will still be used, the idea was to take the Daredevil revival in a new creative direction.

Dario Scardapane was later tapped to serve as showrunner, with Moon Knight and Loki directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead brought on board to help right the ship.

Now, the Writers Guild of America website has revealed the official writing credits and Ord and Corman are only credited for the second episode. This suggests that most of their ideas were left on the cutting room floor and their contributions are now minimal at best. They will, however, still be named as executive producers.

Scardapane's name shows up quite a bit,...

Tron: Ares is the long-awaited sequel to the franchise brought by Disney, and they've now unveiled an official look at the film's new Light Cycle.

Familiar characters from the franchise return, while a new cast leads the highly-anticipated follow-up to the underrated Tron: Legacy and the original 1982 film.

Straight from D23 Brazil (via DiscussingFilm), Tron: Ares gets a cardboard standee, revealing the titular character going from the digital world to real life on a uniquely red Light Cycle.

Disney held its annual D23 fan event in Anaheim, California this weekend. At the convention, the studio unveiled key details about the third installment in the “Tron” franchise, titled “Tron: Ares.”

Set to debut in theaters on October 10, 2025, “Tron: Ares” will bring back elements that made the original 1982 film innovative. It will continue pushing boundaries with state-of-the-art visual effects. At D23, attendees got a first look at the film through its debut trailer and announcements about the cast and creative team.

The footage suggested “Tron: Ares” will grapple with timely AI and big tech issues. Stars Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto, Greta Lee, and Evan Peters were on hand to discuss their roles. Leto described playing the villainous Ares program, who seeks to control the digital world permanently. Gillian Anderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Cameron Monaghan, and Sarah Desjardins round out the cast.

In a surprise, rock band Nine Inch Nails...

Nine Inch Nails will score Tron: Ares, taking over from Daft Punk, adding a new dystopian feel to the highly anticipated film. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have become acclaimed composers, winning Oscars for their work on films like The Social Network. The star-studded cast, including Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges, sets up Tron: Ares to be one of the best movies of 2025.

The upcoming movie Tron: Ares starring Jared Leto will have a fantastic score from Nine Inch Nails. The long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Tron: Legacy is finally in the works at Disney after years of speculation about the future of the franchise. The Tron: Ares ensemble cast will see the return of Jeff Bridges as the original protagonist Kevin Flynn and will also feature performances by Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and Sarah Desjardins.

When Tron first appeared in 1982, it became one of the most popular sci-fi films of the era and is now considered a cult classic. A sequel, Tron: Legacy, was released in 2010 and received mixed reviews, but that did not stop Disney from producing yet another sequel. Tron: Ares is set to be the next installment in the series and will serve as a standalone sequel to the two previous movies. This is something we have already reported on!

Now, we knew that Tron would be featured at this year’s D23, and Disney really provided us with something to see, as the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Jared Leto-led movie was shown to the attendees of this year’s D23. And while the trailer has not been released online yet, we have some great news for you!

The trailer will be released online soon, we are sure, but...

D23 returns us to The Grid thanks to the recently screened footage of Tron: Ares. Actors Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Jeff Bridges, and Evan Peters joined the D23 stage to introduce the footage, which Deadline describes as follows:

"The light cycles of Tron are seen speeding through city streets, leaving laser thin waves behind them, and splicing cars on the street in half. Jared Leto plays the Tron-like character clad in red while Greta Lee plays a brilliant programmer whose great work has Ares coming into the world. Leto in the voice-over of the trailer says, I came here to find somethingsomething important. We see him zooming on a light cycle with Lees character. Bridges, who is the hacker and original video game character Kevin Flynn, appears as something of an apparition at the end in white robes."

The grid is back online.

Disney unveiled the first footage of “Tron: Ares,” the third film in the sci-fi franchise about a world of virtual reality based inside a computer mainframe. Cast members Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Greta Lee and Jeff Bridges unveiled the first look on Friday night during Disney’s marathon presentation of its upcoming slate during the D23 Expo.

At the end of the footage, a title card revealed that the score was compased by Nine Inch Nails, the industrial rock and electronica band founded by Trent Reznor and joined in 2016 by frequent collaborator Atticus Ross. Reznor and Ross, who’ve won Oscars for their scores for 2010’s “The Social Network” and 2020’s “Soul,” appeared briefly on stage together after the announcement.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are getting zapped into the grid — and Nine inch Nails is back.

Disney announced, during its Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23, that the influential composers behind “The Social Network” and HBO’s “Watchmen,” would be composing the original score for the forthcoming “Tron” sequel, “Tron: Ares,” which is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 10, 2025.

And the composing duo were there to make sure fans know it’s real.

Reznor and Ross, who in addition to being Hollywood’s most in-demand composers are also members of industrial rock outfit Nine Inch Nails, have some mighty big shoes to fill. 1982’s “Tron” had a cutting-edge score composed by Wendy Carlos, who had also composed the score to Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” and “A Clockwork Orange.”

It’s been a long time coming, but a reboot of the 1994 cult classic film The Crow (which was based on the comic book series created by James O’Barr) will finally be making its way out into the world on August 23rd, which is when Lionsgate will be giving the film a theatrical release. With that release date swiftly approaching, we figured we should gather together all the information we have on this movie… and here it is, Everything We Know About The Crow 2024:

Lionsgate has informed us that this new version of The Crow, which we have previously been referring to as a remake, is not to be called a remake.

Update: Disney has shared an image of Jeff Bridges taking a look at the Tron: Ares script, and that can be seen at the bottom of this article.

The original article follows:

The long-awaited third entry in the Tron franchise is finally in production. Six years after it was first announced that Jared Leto was in talks to star in a Tron project called Tron: Ares, the movie was all set to start filming last August – but then it had to wait out the writers and actors strikes. With those strikes over, filming is finally underway. Earlier today, we heard a quote from cast member Cameron Monaghan (Gotham), who said this film will “really push forward what can be done, from a visual perspective.” Now, we have another quote about the movie – and this is the one that every Tron fan has been waiting to hear. A quote that confirms...

The filming of Tron: Ares, the third movie in the Tron franchise, is currently underway, as director Joachim Rønning and his cast are preparing for the planned 2025 release. Many details about the upcoming movie are still scarce and things are kept under wraps, but some of the actors have spoken out about the movie and its production, providing us with some very positive comments. On the other hand, while the cast members have been more or less known, their roles (save for the protagonist) are still undisclosed, which means that casting updates will be frequent as more details are revealed.

And while we’ve been expecting some updates on the names of the confirmed cast members, we’ve actually received a pretty amazing scoop instead, as it has officially been confirmed that the series’ legend, Jeff Bridges, is indeed returning to the franchise and will appear in the third movie as well!

Jeff Bridges returns to the world of Tron in new Tron: Ares set image. Bridges heaps praise on Tron: Ares lead Jared Leto and cannot wait to go back to The Grid. Tron: Ares promises exciting visuals and is set to hit theaters in 2025.

Academy Award winner and Tron star Jeff Bridges returns to The Grid in a newly released set image from the filming of Tron: Ares. The actor officially revealed that he would be back for more in the upcoming Tron threequel just yesterday, with this new image showing Bridges perusing the script while sitting next to a lightcycle helmet.

While we now know that Bridges will return to the world of Tron in the Disney sequel,...

Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges is set to return for Tron: Ares, his third film in the long-running sci-fi franchise from Disney, sources have confirmed to Deadline.

The actor revealed the news in a recent appearance on the Film Comment podcast, stating, “I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the ‘Tron’ story. Jared Leto is the star of this third one. I’m really anxious to work with him; I’ve admired his work.”

Entering production in Vancouver in January, Tron: Ares follows Leto’s highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings. Also starring Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson, pic’s director is Joachim Rønning, who helmed both Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales...

Jeff Bridges is going back to the grid.

The 74-year-old actor told the Film Comment podcast (via The Playlist) that he is going to appear in “Tron: Ares,” the third film in the long-running sci-fi franchise that Bridges inaugurated with “Tron” in 1982 and reprised with “Tron: Legacy” in 2010. The new film stars Jared Leto as the titular character Ares, with Joachim Rønning (“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”) directing from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne.

“I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the ‘Tron’ story,” Bridges said. “Jared Leto is the star of this third one. I’m really anxious to work with him. I’ve admired his work.”

“Tron” is best known for pioneering the use of computer generated imagery, which was used to create the digital world of a video game after Bridges’ character, Kevin Flynn, is zapped inside one.

The originalTRON movie premiered in 1982, and it became one of the most popular sci-fi films of the era and is now considered a cult classic. Its sequel, Tron: Legacy, was released in 2010 and received mixed reviews, but Disney still decided to continue the series, and Tron: Ares, the third movie in the series, is set to come out on October 10, 2025, as we have reported earlier. And while there is still some time before the movie’s premiere, the actors involved are discussing the work on the movie, and from what Cameron Monaghan, one of the movie’s main stars, said, we are in for an exciting sequel.

Plans for a third movie started emerging back in 2010 after Legacy, but several ideas and projects were scrapped before it was confirmed in 2022 that the movie was still happening and production was set to begin in 2023, although was originally postponed indefinitely due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Production on Tron: Ares is underway, and a new look at the film's lead character has been revealed. In a video that was posted from the set in Vancouver, actor Jared Leto can be seen in costume as Ares, providing what could be the best look yet at the actor unmasked in his suit.

The footage has been going viral on social media, getting shared on X and other platforms. A scene is not actually filming during the recording of the footage, though Leto can be seen walking around on the set in full costume, though without a helmet. A close look at his face seems to reveal some scrapes, suggesting the character may have been in a scuffle. The footage can be seen below.

When Tron first appeared in 1982, it became one of the most popular sci-fi films of the era and is now considered a cult classic.

Tron: Ares is set to be the next installment in the series and will serve as a standalone sequel to the two previous movies. Production began in January 2024 and Disney has now confirmed the film’s official theatrical release date, which is going to happen on October 10, 2025!

The Crow reboot has experienced a complicated production process with multiple changes in directors, writers, and actors throughout the years. Producer Sam Pressman believes the reboot will be impressive and has plans to expand it into a shared universe through video games or an animated series. The reboot stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven/The Crow and FKA Twigs as his murdered fiancée, with a release date set for 2024.

The Crow reboot is "going to blow people away" and could spawn a shared universe, teases producer Sam Pressman. Based on James O'Barr's comic book series, the 1994 film starred Brandon Lee as Eric Draven, a murdered musician who is resurrected by a mystical crow and seeks revenge against the gang who killed him and his fiancée. The Crow was a sleeper hit at the box office and became a cult classic, though its sequels failed to achieve the same success.
