‘Tron: Ares’ Leaves Out Tron as Director Hints at the Franchise’s Next Move

New analysis argues the sequel deliberately omits Tron to reset the series’ archetypes with new leads.

Overview

  • Inverse reports that the film features no on‑screen appearance of the Tron character in its runtime or credits.
  • Director Joachim Rønning says he has ideas for a potential fourth installment and discussed filming a mid‑credits tease without detailing specific plot developments.
  • Coverage notes that Ares functions as the film’s Tron analogue while Eve Kim occupies a Flynn‑like role, reframing legacy identities.
  • SlashFilm highlights that Jeff Bridges is the only returning actor from prior entries, with Jared Leto, Greta Lee, and Evan Peters leading the new cast.
  • ComicBookMovie reports a worldwide opening of about $60 million, below earlier projections, casting uncertainty on near‑term sequel prospects.
