A highly sophisticated Program named Ares is sent from the digital world into ours on a dangerous mission. Here is the official trailer for TRON Ares, from Disney.
Jared Leto is well known for taking deep dives into his characters, and behaves off set like his characters do in front of the camera.
Jeff Bridges, on meeting and working with Leto on the set of TRON: Ares:
“I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ because he was also a producer of the show, he’s a big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years. I came in, and you know how each set has a different vibe? There was an interesting vibe on this. I said, ‘How’s Jared? How’s he working?’ ‘He’s all right. You know, we call him Ares, you know, so he goes by his name,’ and I said, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.'” “His name was Ares in the show, and I ended up going, ‘Hey Air, what’s happening man?'” he explained. “And I say, ‘Is it OK if I call you Air?’ And he says, ‘Yeah, sure you can.’ Then we got loose, and it was just wonderful. I mean, we jammed, you know?”
Principal shooting took place between January 15, 2024 and May 1, 2024.
TRON: Ares is directed by Joachim Ronning, from a script by Jesse Wigutow, Jack Thorne and based on characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. It stars Greta Lee, Sarah Desjardins and Jared Leto, with additional roles by Jeff Bridges, Gillian Anderson, and Evan Peters. It is set to premier on October 10, 2025.
