Tron Ares Trailer Drops — Jared Leto Leads Disney’s 2025 Sci-Fi Comeback.
The Tron Ares trailer is finally here, and it’s bringing us back to the Grid — but this time, the danger’s entering our world. Disney has officially dropped the second trailer for Tron: Ares, the much-anticipated third installment in the Tron franchise, and it’s looking wild. With a stacked cast, sleek visuals, and a twist-filled plot, fans of the cyber universe have plenty to get hyped about.
What is Tron: Ares About?
In Tron: Ares, we follow a super-advanced program named Ares (played by Jared Leto) who gets launched from the digital world into our reality. This time, humanity gets its first real encounter with an AI from the Grid. The stakes? Higher than ever.
Think sci-fi thriller meets tech apocalypse, but with light cycles.
Star-Studded Cast for Tron: Ares
The Tron Ares trailer doesn’t just tease visual effects — it showcases a killer cast lineup:
Jared Leto as Ares, the rogue AI
Greta Lee as Eve Kim
Evan Peters as Julian Dillinger
Hasan Minhaj, in an undisclosed role
Jodie Turner-Smith as Athena
Cameron Monaghan, Arturo Castro, and Sarah Desjardins also appear
Gillian Anderson as Elisabeth Dillinger
And yes — Jeff Bridges is back as Kevin Flynn!
When is Tron: Ares Releasing?
Mark your calendars: Tron: Ares hits theaters on October 10, 2025.
It’ll be an exclusive theatrical release, with IMAX screens getting special treatment. Don’t expect to catch it on Disney+ until early 2026.
Production Backstory: A Journey Through the Grid
Development of this sequel has been a long ride. Talks started right after Tron: Legacy dropped back in 2010. After years of rewrites, delays, and a director swap, the project finally got moving in early 2024. Directed by Joachim Rønning, with music by industrial rock legends Nine Inch Nails, the film wrapped production in May 2024.
Is Jeff Bridges’ Role Major or a Cameo?
That’s still under wraps. The Tron Ares trailer hints at his presence, but Disney’s keeping tight-lipped on how much screen time Bridges will get. Either way, it’s good to see the OG return.
What Makes Tron Ares Different?
Unlike the earlier films, Tron: Ares brings the Grid to the real world. Instead of staying in the digital domain, the threat now lives among us. This fresh approach could be what the franchise needs to truly reboot.
With jaw-dropping CGI, a sharp cast, and a timely story about AI meeting mankind, Tron: Ares looks like it’s setting up for a solid comeback. Whether you’re a fan of the original or just love futuristic action, this one might be worth the IMAX ticket.
