Ares Promises a Grittier, Industrial Take on the Franchise

The upcoming Tron sequel ventures into the real world with a new soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails.

Tron: Ares is set to release on October 10, 2025, marking the franchise's return after 15 years.
Directed by Joachim Rønning, the film will feature a program named Ares entering the real world, introducing a new storyline for the series.
Jared Leto stars as Ares, with a notable cast including Evan Peters, Greta Lee, and Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn.
The soundtrack, composed by Nine Inch Nails, aims to deliver a grittier and more industrial tone, contrasting with Daft Punk's electronic score for Tron: Legacy.
Initial reactions from a closed-door trailer screening at D23: Brazil have been positive, describing the visuals as a 'spectacle.'
