When Is Tron Ares Coming Out?
Tron Ares is directed by Joachim Rønning and will hit theaters on October 10, 2025. With its mix of action, nostalgia, and new digital twists, it’s shaping up to be a must-watch for both longtime fans and newcomers.
High-Speed Action Kicks Off the Trailer
The trailer opens with a jaw-dropping chase scene. A futuristic light cycle speeds past police cars with ease, leaving a trail that slices one car clean in half. It’s the perfect way to reintroduce audiences to the high-tech world of Tron, last seen in Tron: Legacy (2010) and originally launched with Tron (1982).
Jared Leto Takes the Lead as Ares
Jared Leto stars as Ares, a program created inside the digital world known as the Grid. But this time, the mission is bigger—Ares must enter the real world. Near the end of the trailer, fans hear the familiar voice of Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, saying, “Ready? Cause there’s no going back,” even though he doesn’t appear on screen.
