‘Tron: Ares’ Unleashes The Grid With First Trailer And Poster​on April 5, 2025 at 4:29 pm

After 15 years, Disney is finally ready to unleash The Grid with a long-awaited Tron threequel.

During CinemaCon on Saturday, Tron: Ares debuted the poster and first trailer for the upcoming installment, which premieres October 10 in U.S. theaters, following the seminal Disney sci-fi classic Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010).

The followup stars Jared Leto as 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.

In the trailer (watch it above), two Programs on Light Cycles ride through the streets of a real-world metropolis, leaving light trails that slice through a police car in their pursuit. The world of the video game appears to be colliding with our own in the Joachim Rønning-helmed thrill ride.

Leto previously teased the sequel as he appeared alongside Jeff Bridges at the CinemaCon presentation. “As a kid I was obsessed with Tron,” he said.

“The future felt it was right around the corner. It had everything I wanted from a movie — action, adventure and spandex — it took me to a world that I never knew,” added Leto. “This movie will hit you right in the grid.”

Along with Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters and Gillian Anderson’s characters are teased in the minute-and-a-half-long trailer, which also features a voice appearance from Bridges. Ares also features Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro and Cameron Monaghan.

Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger are the producers, with Russell Allen serving as executive producer.
