After more than a decade since audiences last entered the Grid, Disney has officially released the first trailer for Tron: Ares, the next electrifying chapter in the iconic sci-fi franchise. With a sleek visual overhaul and a mysterious new protagonist at its core, the trailer promises a thrilling evolution of the digital world fans have come to love.

Starring Jared Leto as Ares—a self-aware program sent from the digital world into the real one—the film explores what happens when artificial intelligence gains autonomy in our physical reality. The trailer teases kinetic action sequences, neon-drenched landscapes, and a philosophical edge that questions the line between man and machine.

No Going Back!

Directed by Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Tron: Ares serves as both a continuation and reinvention of the Tron saga. Returning cast members and newcomers alike—including Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Cameron Monaghan—help bridge the gap between legacy and innovation.

The aesthetic remains true to the franchise’s glowing roots, with cutting-edge visual effects and a pulsating score that echoes Daft Punk’s beloved work on Tron: Legacy. But Ares isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about where we’re headed next.

Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters in 2025.
