The franchise ‘Tron’ is preparing for a new chapter with the release of its third film, titled ‘Tron: Ares’, scheduled to hit theaters on October 10, 2025. Although the story of ‘Tron’ began in 1982 and the sequel ‘Tron: Legacy’ was released in 2010, it has been more than a decade since a new installment was announced. This delay has generated anticipation and, at the same time, doubts among fans.

What’s up, Tron

Despite the fact that ‘Tron’ was initially considered a failure, it managed to gross 50 million dollars against a budget of 17 million, which turned it into a cult classic over the years. For its part, ‘Tron: Legacy’ grossed nearly 410 million dollars, but the losses in production and marketing led Disney to reconsider future investments in the franchise.

Joachim Rønning, the Norwegian director known for his work on the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ saga, took over the direction of ‘Tron: Ares’ after Joseph Kosinski’s departure. The cast is mostly new, with the inclusion of Jeff Bridges and Jared Leto, who will play Ares, a computer program that crosses from the digital world to the real one to facilitate humanity’s first contact with beings created by artificial intelligence.

However, the choice of Leto as the lead has sparked some controversy, especially after the commercial failure of ‘Morbius’, which has fueled doubts about his ability to carry a blockbuster like ‘Tron: Ares’. Despite these concerns, the extensive cast that includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, and Jodie Turner-Smith adds additional interest to the proposal.

As the release date approaches, all eyes are on Disney’s marketing campaign and how the narrative will unfold in this new digital universe. ‘Tron: Ares’ could become a revaluation of the saga or a new stumble, an uncertain outcome that many film enthusiasts will be watching closely.
