TRON: Ares arrives in theaters a little over a month from today, and tickets for the TRON and TRON: Legacy follow-up are now on sale.
The trailer and featurettes not only take us back into The Grid, but bring programs from that artificial reality into the real world, a first for the long-running sci-fi franchise. Visually, TRON: Ares looks terrific, but it's not a movie that's creating a huge amount of buzz.
These latest reveals—which include several premium theater-exclusives—might help, and the movie definitely has all the makings of a fun ride for fans. There's been some controversy surrounding lead star Jared Leto, though it's unclear what impact, if any, that will have (Disney certainly isn't shying away from showing the Oscar-winner's face).
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 movie stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson. Joachim Rønning directs; producers are Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Leto, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger.
TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), featuring all original music by Nine Inch Nails, will be released on September 19 via Interscope Records. The release marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering band, although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, winning two Oscars, three Golden Globes, a GRAMMY and an Emmy in the process.
TRON: Ares arrives in theaters on October 10, 2025.
