Overview

• Jeff Bridges returns as Kevin Flynn, while Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, and Cillian Murphy are not appearing.
• Director Joachim Rønning says the story did not require former leads at the forefront and notes some actors declined to return.
• Producer Justin Springer rejects gratuitous cameos, prioritizing a coherent new narrative set 14 years after TRON: Legacy.
• The film centers on Jared Leto’s Ares, a program sent into the real world in a first-contact scenario with A.I. beings, with Ares created by Evan Peters’ Julian Dillinger.
• Greta Lee, Gillian Anderson, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, and Cameron Monaghan co-star, and the theatrical release is set for October 10, 2025; ComicBookMovie reports recent allegations against Leto have not, as of now, changed Disney’s marketing.
