Ares follows Leto’s character, who is dispatched from the digital world into our own on a vital mission, leading to humanity’s initial encounter with AI beings (which does make us wonder what happened to Olivia Wilde’s Quorra from Legacy).
Alongside Leto, the cast also includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson.
“I’m excited to be part of the Tron franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world,” says Rønning. “Tron: Ares builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid.”
Short of someone unplugging the servers, Tron: Ares should be in UK cinemas next year.
