Tron: Ares (stylized as TRON: Ares) is an upcoming American science fiction action film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. A standalone sequel to Tron: Legacy (2010) and the third installment in the Tron franchise, it is directed by Joachim Rønning from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne. The film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson and Sarah Desjardins, with Jeff Bridges reprising his role from the previous installments.
Development of a sequel to Tron: Legacy began in October 2010 by franchise creator Steven Lisberger. Plans changed when the franchise would be moving towards a reboot instead in March 2017, with Leto playing a new character. Garth Davis was set as director in August 2020 when Wigutow was working on the script, but stepped down in January 2023. Rønning replaced him a month later. Production was expected to begin in August 2023 but was delayed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Filming ultimately began in January 2024 in Vancouver and wrapped in May. By August, Nine Inch Nails was composing the score.
Tron: Ares is scheduled to be released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on October 10, 2025.[1]
