AI is here to stay, but how it should and shouldn’t be used is still a subject of much debate, particularly in the entertainment industry. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal (via Deadline), Disney had considered some ambitious ideas for using AI on several upcoming projects, including Tron: Ares and the live-action Moana movie.

According to WSJ sources, Disney executives “pitched the idea of actually incorporating AI into one of the characters in the sequel to the 1980s hit movie Tron as a buzzy marketing strategy.” The character would have been a sidekick of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), but the idea didn’t move forward because the executives were told “that the company couldn’t risk the bad publicity.“

Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto as Ares, a highly sophisticated Program sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with AI beings.

Jared Leto appears to still be embracing his well-known method acting style, a practice that drew plenty of attention during his time on Suicide Squad. But this time around, and luckily for the Tron: Ares cast, Leto wasn't playing someone as menacing and disgusting as the Joker.

During the film’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, Leto’s co-star Jeff Bridges shared a humorous story about their time working together. In his usual laid-back drawl, Bridges remarked, “He’s one of those guys. Everyone has different methods and modes, man.”

The crowd laughed as Bridges continued with a light jab: “I didn’t want to offend him as a thespian, but I thought, ‘I wanted to have a certain intimacy with you. I know your name is Ares. Can I just call you Air?’ He said, ‘Yeah man! You can call me whatever you want!’ We had a great time.

With Marvel Mia from San Deigo Comic-Con, Disney pulled out all stops for its Tron: Ares panel. Dazzling light show. Eye-popping clips from the movie. A new Nine Inch Nails music video. A stacked lineup of Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Gillian Anderson, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Cameron Monaghan, along with director Joachim Rønning, and creator-producer Steven Lisberger, who wrote and directed the original, with certified nerd Kevin Smith moderating.

As Smith pointed out from the jump, the original Tron’s influence far outweighed its meager box office in 1982, a year where the sci-fi film was overshadowed by the likes of E.T., Blade Runner, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Poltergeist, and The Road Warrior. “It was a visionary science-fiction motion picture that wasn’t appreciated in its time,” Smith said. Indeed, Tron’s pioneering use of computer graphics and concept of the Grid,...

Jeff Bridges is opening up about working with Jared Leto for Tron: Ares.

The two Oscar-winning actors appeared alongside co-stars Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Evan Peters, Gillian Anderson, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Cameron Monaghan to promote their new Disney movie at the 2025 Comic-Con International on Friday (July 25) held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif.

During their panel, Jeff revealed what it was like working with Jared, who is a known method actor, on the movie.

Cast members and filmmakers from Predator: Badlands and Tron: Ares attended the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday for two special panels hosted by The Walt Disney Studios and moderated by Kevin Smith in Hall H.

The first panel featured the stars of 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands, Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, and the film’s director/producer, Dan Trachtenberg, who were greeted by the more than 6,500 Comic-Con attendees wearing Predator masks. A 7-foot-tall real-life Predator descended upon Hall H and used its heat signature abilities to scope the room, zeroing in on Smith.

A brief Q&a followed, which focused on details of the upcoming action-adventure film and included legendary creature designer Alec Gillis, touching briefly on the recent animated film Predator: Killer of Killers. Trachtenberg delighted fans with an exclusive look at the alternate ending of the film, featuring franchise favorites Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Glover.

Tron: Ares took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 and put up a neon-soaked show for everyone as Jared Leto’s Ares, Jodie Turner-Smith’s Athena, and Greta Lee’s Eve went off the rails in an action-packed preview. The long-anticipated third chapter of the sci-fi saga showed up at Sdcc with exclusive footage and brought the trio of Leto, Lee, and Turner-Smith, along with Evan Peters, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, and others, on stage.

The preview also dropped new music from Nine Inch Nails, the masterminds behind the soundtrack this time, and featured Jared Leto doing the legendary Akira slide. The Joachim Rønning-directed film will star Leto in the titular role as Ares, and the actor himself echoed our sentiments with his affirmative words. So, let’s look at everything that unfolded in San Diego!

“Tron: Ares” blew the roof off of San Diego Comic-Con at its panel on Friday evening, with an eye-popping, ear-blasting laser-light show set to the pulsing original score by Nine Inch Nails. The panel also included two extended clips from the film, and ended with a Nin music video of the original song “As Alive as You Need Me to Be.”

The movie is third film in one of the more improbable movie franchises in modern Hollywood, which Disney tacitly acknowledged with how it opened its panel, with an extended trailer that covered the events of the previous two films. The first, 1982’s “Tron,” stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer who gets sucked into the computer mainframe know as the Grid. The movie is best known for its groundbreaking use of computer generated imagery for its visual effects, to capture a purely digital world. But “Tron” was far from a blockbuster,...

Jeff Bridges and Jared Leto came to San Diego Comic-Con to promote the upcoming “Tron: Ares,” the third film in the sci-fi franchise, and as part of the presentation they treated the Hall H crowd to two clips featuring the iconic light cycles — plus a new music video from composer Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails.

The footage shows Ares (Leto) and Athena (Jodie Turner-Smith) chasing Eve (Great Lee) in the film’s first light cycle chase that takes place in the real world. Eve manages to evade them and also manages to steal Athena’s light cycle in the process, much to her amazement.

Disney

In another clip, they previewed the immersive world of the grid in another chase sequence involving Ares and Eve trying to escape the grid into the transfer portal.

The final promo clip is the new music video for the film from Nine Inch Nails.

At the Tron: Ares panel at San Diego Comic Con, Disney unveiled clips of two different high-speed lightcycle chases. Fans have already had a glimpse of one of them in the film's promotional material, while another is all new for the convention. Collider's Meredith Loftus was on the scene in San Diego.

At the panel, the filmmakers showed off two of the franchise's iconic light cycle chases. In the first clip, the programs Ares (Jared Leto) and Athena (Jodie Turner-Smith) are sent after Eve (Greta Lee) by Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters). Eve takes off on her own motorcycle, but soon she's fighting for her life against the ruthless Athena. However, she manages to knock the program down and take off on Athena's stolen lightcycle. In the second, Ares and Eve are in the Grid, attempting to escape back to reality as Athena and her drones pursue them. He's defying orders to help her,...

Tron: Ares, the highly anticipated third installment in the groundbreaking Tron franchise, is set to reach theatres on October 10th – and with just over two months to go before that date arrives, a Tron: Ares panel was held at San Diego Comic-Con to build the hype.

The film was directed by Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales director Joachim Rønning and stars Jared Leto (Morbius), Cameron Monaghan (Gotham), Evan Peters (Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story), Greta Lee (Past Lives), Sarah Desjardins (Yellowjackets), Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Hasan Minhaj (No Hard Feelings), Arturo Castro (Road House), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), and returning Tron star Jeff Bridges. Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook, and Steven Lisberger are the producers, with Russell Allen serving as executive producer.

Scripted by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne, Tron: Ares tells the story of a highly sophisticated Program,...

No, Dr. Doom didn’t show up at this year’s Comic-Con. But Disney sure as hell brought the dazzle with a laser light show that one-upped what they pulled off at CinemaCon, complete with a Tron: Ares logo in full neon red and two Tron-like warriors marching to the front of the stage.

“Did you see that entrance?” asked moderator Kevin Smith, “That cost more than Clerks!“

At the panel were director Joachim Rønning with stars Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Arturo Castro, Gillian Anderson, Cameron Monaghan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, and Jeff Bridges who reprises his role as Kevin Flynn, the programmer from the original 1982 movie who gets caught in his own videogame. Leto drew big cheers from the crowd, as did Bridges.

In the third Tron movie, a highly sophisticated program, Ares (played by Oscar winner Leto) is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission.

Welcome back to The Grid. The new trailer for the long-awaited sci-fi action sequel, Tron: Ares, has now been unveiled by Disney, with the positively pulsating footage revealing more of what’s to come as the digital world seeps into the real one. And all with Academy Award winner and Morbius star Jared Leto at its center. You can check out the new trailer for Tron: Ares below.

Directed by Joachim Rønning from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow (Daredevil: Born Again) and Jack Thorne (Adolescence), Tron: Ares stars Oscar winner Jared Leto as the titular Ares, with the rest of the cast consisting of Greta Lee (Past Lives), Evan Peters (X-Men: Apocalypse), Cameron Monaghan (Gotham), Hasan Minhaj (The Daily Show), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Arturo Castro (Broad City), Gillian Anderson, Sarah Desjardins (Yellowjackets), and original star Jeff Bridges.

Disney has officially uploaded users into the Grid once again with the electrifying debut trailer for Tron: Ares, the long-awaited third chapter in the iconic sci-fi saga. Slated for a cinematic release on October 10, the film takes the franchise into bold new territory as the digital and physical worlds collide like never before.

Directed by Joachim Rønning, ‘Tron: Ares’ introduces audiences to Ares—a highly advanced, self-aware Program played by Jared Leto—tasked with a dangerous and unprecedented mission: entering the real world. As Ares becomes the first A.I. entity to cross over from the digital realm into human society, the stakes reach staggering new heights in a story that explores identity, consciousness, and the rapidly blurring lines between man and machine.

Joining Leto is a stacked ensemble including Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and franchise legend Jeff Bridges, reprising his role as Kevin Flynn.

Disney has shared a brand-new trailer and poster for Tron: Ares (via SFFGazette.com), the highly anticipated third instalment in the groundbreaking Tron franchise.

As well as getting us better acquainted with Jared Leto's Ares, the sneak peek also welcomes Jeff Bridges' Kevin Flynn back into the fold. It's an awesome reveal, and one that longtime Tron fans will celebrate (especially as Tron: Legacy's distracting de-ageing VFX is now nowhere to be seen). We also see more of the characters played by Evan Peters and Gillian Anderson.

In other news, Grammy-award winning rock band Nine Inch Nails, the group that composed the score for Tron: Ares, has dropped "As Alive As You Need Me To Be," the soundtrack album's first single and the first official music from the band in five years.

In 1982, Steven Lisberger changed the landscape for effects-driven cinema with Tron. In 2010, Joseph Kosinski changed the game again with Tron Legacy, a smartly formulated, visually dazzling reboot-cum-legacy sequel set to the throbbing beats of Daft Punk. Now, 15 years later, Joachim Rønning is picking up the bright neon torch to push the envelope once again with Tron: Ares, a movie that's set to see worlds collide as, for the first time in the franchise's history, we're not heading to the Grid — the Grid's heading for us. Check out the eye-popping new trailer below;

Now there's a trailer! Nine Inch Nails going, per their own words, 'grittier and more industrial' with the score; the wizards at Ilm coming in clutch as they rise to the challenge of working on 'the Holy Grail of computer graphics'; Jared Leto slipping into the role of Pinocchio-like AI super soldier Ares with preternatural, dead-eyed ease; and,...

The official trailer for "Tron: Ares" is here, and it has quite a bit going for it. Like both of its predecessors, "Tron" and "Tron: Legacy," however, it appears that there are two very important elements driving "Tron: Ares" — its soundtrack and its neon-soaked visuals. Despite being snubbed for an Oscar nomination (because the Academy thought using a computer for visual effects was "cheating" back in 1982), "Tron" helped blow the lid off of what can be done in special effects and paved the way for more computer-generated imagery (CGI) in movies and TV. It only makes sense, then, that its sequels would also be visually stunning, and "Legacy" absolutely nailed the assignment back in 2010. So, what about "Ares"?

Based on the film's trailer (see above), which features all kinds of cool visuals with lots of neon-streaked vehicles and armor, "Ares" is going to take the stellar visuals of the "Tron...

Disney has just dropped a new trailer and poster for Tron: Ares, giving fans a fresh look at Jared Leto as the villain of the new sci-fi adventure. The movie is the third film in the famous Tron series and will hit theaters on October 10, 2025.

In this new chapter, Jared Leto plays Ares, a powerful AI program who escapes from the digital world and enters the real one. According to the 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.”

A new trailer and poster for Disney’s Tron: Ares are here, giving fans a new look at Jared Leto as the main villain in the newest Tron film. This is the third movie in the Tron series, and it’s set to hit theaters on October 10, 2025.

Jared Leto plays Ares, a powerful AI program sent from the digital world into the real world on a risky mission. This will mark the first time people in the Tron world meet an AI in the flesh.

According to the official story summary from Disney, “‘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.”

This October, they are coming to our world.

Jared Leto is continuing being a franchise baddie. After starring as antihero Morbius in the MCU, plus playing the controversial WeWork founder, the actor is now joining the “Tron” digital universe as the titular villain of “Tron: Ares.”

Joachim Rønning (“The Young Woman and the Sea”) directs the third franchise film, which is written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne (“Adolescence”). Original lead Jeff Bridges returns, with Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Arturo Castro, Hasan Minhaj, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson co-starring. The official synopsis reads: “‘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.”

The sci-fi franchise began in 1982 with Bridges playing a video game programmer who becomes trapped in the digital world. The sequel “Tron: Legacy” was released in 2010 with Garret Hedlund playing Bridges’ onscreen son; Joseph Kosinski directed.

The release of the new Nine Inch Nails song “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” was just a harbinger for a deeper look at Tron: Ares, which drew us fully back into the world first launched by the 1982 Disney film. In this new trailer, we see tech mogul Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters) explain his grand plan for a new army of programmable soldiers, one of which has the face of Jared Leto and a desire to discover if there’s more to life than flying around jet planes.

According to the official description from Disney, “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 A.I. beings.”

The new movie’s cast also includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, with Gillian Anderson,...

This spectacular sci-fi tech movie 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 A.I. beings. Greta Lee plays Eve Kim, the human lead in this sequel – a tech genius, analytical and observant. She's one of the world's best programmers: reclusive, anti social, and an important renegade in stopping the programs.

The Grid is back online — and this time, it’s coming for our world. Disney has just unveiled a jaw-dropping look at Tron: Ares, the highly anticipated sequel to Tron: Legacy, and it’s everything fans have been hoping for and more: red neon, slick vehicles, gravity-defying action, and a pulsating soundtrack that promises to rewire your brain. Directed by Joachim Rønning, the film marks a major evolution for the Tron franchise — one that brings Oscar-winner Jared Leto into the digital fold as the titular Ares, a rogue program with unclear (and likely sinister) motives. Also returning? The original Grid master himself, Jeff Bridges, reprising his iconic role as Kevin Flynn.

What Is 'Tron: Ares' About?

The biggest twist this time? The Grid isn’t confined to cyberspace anymore. Tron: Ares takes place after the events of Tron: Legacy, and will mark the first time that programs have made their way into the real world.

The new trailer has just been released for Tron: Ares. The legacy sequel is the third movie overall in the Tron franchise. This time, the movie will transport the computer world to the earthly one as a computer program is sent to complete a mission in the real world.

Set for release on October 10, Tron: Ares is directed by Joachim Rønning. Jeff Bridges, who led the original Tron movie back in 1982, will return to the cast as Kevin Flynn. The supporting cast of Tron 3 includes Gillian Anderson, Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Cameron Monaghan, Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith.

Now, Disney has released a new official trailer for Tron: Ares. The trailer opens with the shocking arrival of a flying object, which glows red, on Earth. People look up in horror as this program, later understood to be Ares, drifts past dense urban environments. Check it out below:

As Ares arrives on Earth,...

Ahead of next week’s San Diego Comic Con Hall H panel, Disney has unleashed a new trailer for their forthcoming legacy sequel “Tron: Ares,” from director Joachim Rønning, the latest installment of the franchise that began way back in 1982 with the cutting-edge “Tron.” You can watch it below. No coins necessary.

“Tron: Ares,” which follows 2010’s “Tron: Legacy,” concerns a highly sophisticated program from the digital realm, Ares (Jared Leto), who crosses over into our world on what Disney is describing as a “dangerous mission.” This will mark humanity’s first encounter with A.I. beings. So far, the “Tron” films have taken primarily in the computer world; it’ll fun to see that world come into ours for the first time.

Joining Leto on and off the grid are Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson (as another Dillinger). And,...

The Acolyte generated such hype when the first trailers were released. We were all excited to see Carrie-Anne Moss back in action—even if her role was far smaller than we were led to believe—and the show looked to promise intrigue, action, and a deeper dive into some of Star Wars' less explored lore.

But, The Acolyte fell flat. Even with relatively decent critical acclaim, fans didn't like it. While Rotten Tomatoes is far from perfect, this discrepancy is apparent: critics gave it a surprisingly high 79% approval rating, while fans gave it an abysmally low 19% approval rating.

Despite the lower ratings, many fans stand strong in defense of the show.

So, what went wrong? The action scenes were chaotic and well-choreographed, and from this writer's perhaps not-so-humble point of view, the casting was spot on. Amandla Stenberg as Mae and Osha had me believing she was two people. Lee Jung-jae...

Burberry appoints Chinese actor Wu Lei as global ambassador, reinforcing its presence in the competitive and strategic Asian market.

Burberry has taken a strategic step by naming Chinese actor Wu Lei as its new global brand ambassador, in a move that strengthens its presence in one of the key markets for the luxury fashion industry. The decision comes at a time when brands are seeking to deepen their cultural connections with local consumers, especially across Asia.

At just 25 years old, Wu Lei is one of the most influential figures of the new generation of Chinese actors. With over 48 million followers on Weibo and hundreds of millions of impressions on platforms like Xiaohongshu, his impact extends far beyond the screen. From his early days as a child actor to starring in acclaimed productions such as’ The Long Ballad‘ and ‘Love Like the Galaxy‘, Wu has established himself as...

New images from Disney's Tron: Areshave entered The Grid… the Instagram grid, that is. The snaps caused quite a stir on social media as they turned the spotlight on two of the film's major villainous characters, who threaten to be even more evil than Jared Leto's titular antagonist in the highly anticipated third installment of the groundbreaking Tron franchise. Marvel favorite Evan Peters and The X-Files leading lady Gillian Anderson both feature in the photos, offering a better look at their roles as Julian and Elisabeth Dillinger, respectively.

Fans of the Tron saga will recognize the Dillinger name. Ed Dillinger (David Warner) was the ruthless head of Encom in Disney's 1982 film, while his son, Ed Jr. (Cillian Murphy), made a cameo appearance in the 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy. The Dillinger dynasty will live on in the third feature, Tron: Ares, as Peters steps out as Julian, a new addition to the family lineage,...

Sneak Peek new footage from “Tron: Ares', directed by Joachim Rønning, starring Jared Leto as 'Ares', Evan Peters as 'Edward Dillinger, Jr.', Greta Lee as 'Eve', Jodie Turner-Smith as 'Athena' and Gillian Anderson, with music by “Nine Inch Nails”, releasing October 10, 2025 in theaters:

"...'Ares' is a new computer program…

“…on a journey from the digital world…

“…to the human one..."

Disney finds itself in hot water after Jared Leto, the lead star of the upcoming movie, Tron: Ares, faced accusations of s*xual misconduct. The studio is reportedly currently engaged in “crisis talks” to determine a promotional strategy amidst the disturbing allegations.

Nine women, including model Laura La Rue, accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior, including flirting with teenagers. The report from Air Mail came out on June 7, and the actor denied the claims by these women. His representatives claimed that the “communications contain nothing s*xual or inappropriate” (via THR).

While there are no charges or civil suits filed against the Suicide Squad actor, the serious allegations could impact his image and the release of his film, Tron Ares. Disney’s marketing team is reportedly concerned about the film’s proportion. According to a source, the team had planned a major panel for the film at the upcoming...

Will a third Tron film finally deliver the box office success Disney has long hoped for?

So far, both the original Tron from 1982 and its 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy underperformed in theaters. While neither film turned a profit during their initial runs, both gained loyal fanbases through home video and later found renewed life on streaming platforms.

In the case of Legacy, its strong post-theatrical performance even inspired the creation of a high-profile E-ticket attraction at Magic Kingdom in Orlando.

Despite this long-tail success, it's safe to say Disney would much prefer a strong theatrical debut and immediate commercial returns rather than waiting years for a cult following to emerge.

What works in Tron: Ares' favor is its shift in focus. With a storyline centered on computer algorithms crossing into the real world, the film may rely less heavily on the fully computer-generated environment of the Grid.

Additionally, with over...

One look at Jodie Turner-Smith in her Tron: Ares light suit makes it clear: you absolutely would not mess with her. The Queen & Slim star – recently seen in The Acolyte – looks undeniably formidable in her guise for Joachim Rønning’s long-awaited blockbuster, taking audiences back to the world of Tron for the first time since 2010’s Tron: Legacy. Meet Athena, second-in-command to Jared Leto’s Ares, ready to bust out of the Grid and take charge.

“She is hardcore and fierce and strong and loyal,” Turner-Smith tells Empire in our world-exclusive Tron: Ares issue. During our set visit, she walks up in a real light-up suit, with close-cropped bleach-blonde hair and eyebrow-free face – the severity of the look absolutely speaking to Athena’s role. “It’s really fun to play somebody who’s just totally uncompromising and brazenly going about accomplishing their objectives. And I was really willing to take that on right now,...

Tron has always been a franchise that breaks new ground, with the technology utilised in 1982's Tron and 2010's Tron: Legacy pushing VFX to their limits upon release. Now, it's down to Tron: Ares to update the long-running sci-fi series for a very different world.

Talking to Empire Online (via SFFGazette.com), filmmaker Joachim Rønning said that Ilm is treating Tron: Ares like it's "the Holy Grail of computer graphics," and adds that they set out to "elevate" this world and take it "to the next level."

That included motion-controlled camera movements, designed as if the lens is operated by a machine rather than a man. "The concept was that a program is filming a program. So it’s shot by a robot," Rønning teased.

Original Tron creator Steven Lisberger was on hand to say, "Something comes out, and it’s too avant-garde at the time. And...

When people think of advancements in special effects in Hollywood, they typically think of movies like 1933’s King Kong, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, and James Cameron’s Avatar franchise, to name a few. However, old heads of Hollywood remember another film that helped change the visual game, Disney’s Tron. The Steven Lisberger-directed science-fiction adventure dazzled audiences with state-of-the-art digital effects, paving the way for VFX in film to show moviegoers things they’d never thought possible on the silver screen. Disney upped their game again in 2010 with Tron: Legacy, and soon, Joachim Rønning will level up the Tron Universe with Tron: Ares, coming to theaters on October 10, 2025.

The latest issue of Empire Magazine is pulling the curtain back on Tron: Ares with an in-depth discussion about filming techniques with the film’s director, Joachim Rønning. According to Rønning, Ilm (Industrial Light & Magic) treats Ares as “the Holy Grail of computer graphics.

“Tron: Ares” is taking its artificial intelligence plotline quite literally. In a new interview, director Joachim Rønning shared that he wanted certain scenes in the upcoming film to look as if they were shot by a computer program, rather than a person.

“Tron: Ares” is the third installment in the sci-fi franchise that began in 1982 with Jeff Bridges playing a video game programmer who becomes trapped in the digital world. The sequel “Tron: Legacy” was released in 2010 with Garret Hedlund playing Bridges’ onscreen son; Joseph Kosinski directed. Now, Rønning is taking the reins, with Bridges returning for the third film.

Rønning told Empire that he views the process of making “Tron: Ares” as the “the Holy Grail of computer graphics,” especially with the famed Grid becoming even more paramount to the plot. Jared Leto joins the franchise as the titular Ares, the manifestation of a sentient computer program that escapes into the real world.

The Tron series is back with a new movie called Tron: Ares, set to release in theaters on October 10, 2025. This film promises to take visual effects to a new level, continuing the franchise’s tradition of being ahead in technology. Director Joachim Rønning told Empire magazine that working on this project feels like chasing “the Holy Grail of computer graphics.”

One unique idea in the movie is how the camera work is done. Rønning explained, “The concept was that a program is filming a program. So it’s shot by a robot.” This means the scenes are captured as if a machine is recording other digital programs, giving the movie a fresh visual style.

The original Tron movie from 1982 was famous for its groundbreaking visuals, and its 2010 follow-up, Tron: Legacy, expanded on that with bright neon lights and a digital world called The Grid. Tron: Ares plans to push this...

The Tron franchise is getting a fresh new chapter with the upcoming film, Tron: Ares, set to hit theaters on October 10, 2025. This new movie promises to push the boundaries of visual effects once again, continuing the series’ tradition of leading-edge technology. Director Joachim Rønning shared with Empire magazine that working on Tron: Ares feels like chasing “the Holy Grail of computer graphics.”

He explained that the film will use innovative camera work that mimics how a machine would film, saying, “The concept was that a program is filming a program. So it’s shot by a robot.”

Tron has always been about imagining a digital world ahead of its time. The original 1982 film was a pioneer in visual effects, and Tron: Legacy in 2010 raised the bar even higher with its neon-lit digital universe called The Grid.

Now, Tron: Ares aims to bring this vision into a new era by mixing the virtual and real worlds.

When The New York Times recently dropped its list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century, it didn’t just spark film buff debates — it also gave readers a peek into which movies actors, directors, and creatives listed as their favorites. And let’s just say, the results are full of surprises.

Who would’ve guessed that comedy legend Mel Brooks — the mind behind Blazing Saddles and The Producers — is a major fan of Hidden Figures? His top 10 also includes Jojo Rabbit, A Beautiful Mind and The Bourne Identity.

Then there’s horror king Stephen King, who proved he has a soft side with Brokeback Mountain on his list, alongside more intense films such as Black Hawk Down, Million Dollar Baby, and Oppenheimer.

When Oscar winner Julianne Moore needs a laugh, it appears she turns to comedies Superbad and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. Rounding out her list was also stylish dramas like Black Swan,...

Something about the names "John" and "Jack" apparently screams unstoppable action hero. John Wick, Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher ... these are some of the biggest action heroes of the last few years. Extend that timeframe a little and you've got John McClane and Jack Bauer. Go even further and you've got John James Rambo, and that's to say nothing of Jason Bourne and James Bond, who feel very much "John" and "Jack"-adjacent.

Paramount and Skydance tried to throw yet another John into the mix with "Without Remorse," a 2021 action thriller that starred Michael B. Jordan as U.S. Navy Seal John Clark — or John Kelly, as he's known in the film. Born in the pages of military fiction novels by Tom Clancy, Clark shared his origin with Jack Ryan, a character who has been portrayed on screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, and John Krasinski across five films and a streaming series.
