Next year is going to have some pretty big live-action Disney films coming to the big screen with “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” “Fantastic Four,” “Blade,” and “Avatar 3” all on the horizon. Another big project was just announced with “TRON: Ares,” aka “Tron 3” officially set to be out in 2025 as well. The legacy sequel hails from director Joachim Rønning
Disney has dropped a first-look image from the third installment on multiple social media accounts featuring Jared Leto‘s character Ares, red in previous films tended to represent the bad guys, and the film’s early synopsis seems to indicate he’s no good. Then again, it does say “Dillinger Systems” on his back a nod to the antagonist of the original film, and if you remember there was a cameo by current Oscar-nominee Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”) as Dillinger’s son.
“The new film centers around a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.”
You can view that first-look image of Ares and his costume that was practically made by the talent folks at Weta Workshop.
Other actors assembled for the film that is shooting in Vancouver until late April or early May include Greta Lee (“Past Lives”), Gillian Anderson (“Sex Education,” “The X-Files”), Cameron Monaghan (“Star Wars Jedi”), Evan Peters (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”), Jodie Turner-Smith (“Without Remorse”), and Sarah Desjardins (“Yellowjackets”). There really haven’t been any official indicators that we’ll see returning cast members from “TRON: Legacy.”
Speaking of “Legacy,” we are extremely curious about who Disney ends up hiring to score “Ares” after Daft Punk‘s previous score is considered a massive highlight of the last installment but their break-up would make it impossible for them to score the entire film as the former group. I was campaigning for fellow French electronic artist Kavinsky to fill those shoes earlier in the year.
“TRON: Ares” is set to be released sometime in 2025, although, Disney hasn’t even the cyberpunk adventure film an official date as of yet. The open dates on Disney’s slate for next year that could be where “TRON: Ares” lands include April 11, May 9, July 2, and August 15, We’re most likely looking at a spring/summer release date and August 15 does feel like a good spot for the pic.
