Tron: Ares Prepares October 10 Release Featuring Jeff Bridges’ Flynn

Disney's upcoming sci-fi sequel Tron: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning, continues the Tron saga by bringing artificial intelligence programs from the digital world into the real world, marking humanity's first encounter with A.I. beings. Jeff Bridges returns as Kevin Flynn, a central figure bridging the digital and real realms, while Jared Leto stars as Ares, a sophisticated program on a dangerous mission. The film features a prominent cast including Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Gillian Anderson, with a score by Nine Inch Nails. Marketing highlights the theme "Flynn Lives," recalling the legacy of the original characters and the ongoing struggle between humans and digital entities. The movie is set for an October 10 theatrical and IMAX release, with anticipation around how it will expand the franchise's narrative and explore what it means to be human from the perspective of a computer program. Despite some muted excitement tied to Leto's previous blockbuster performances, the film aims to reinvigorate the Tron franchise, which remains a significant part of Disney's brand.
