Tron: Ares | October 10, 2025 | Jared Leto to star, Joachim Ronning to direct

[WorkingonaName]

This is going to make Flash look like Avatar. 

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Gonna go back in time and stop Tomorrowland from being made so it doesn’t flop and doesn’t kill Kosinski’s Tron 3. 

[John Marston]

no Kosinski?

No Daft Punk?

No Cillian Murphy as the bad guy?

No follow up on Legacy whatsoever it seems?

 

No thanks

You look at this project and you just know it isn't doing more than 150M WW.

Sometimes I wonder when execs green light stuff like this or that Snake Eyes movie, looking at the creative talent they are given and the franchise they are hawking off, do they know these movies are gonna bomb? Because anybody with a brain knows a “Tron movie with Jared Leto directed by the Maleficent 2 guy” will be a giant bomb. I don’t understand this.

The only reason this project is (one has to assume) getting one last shot is because they just opened a big attraction at Magic Kingdom. Legacy is now an almost 13 year old movie (time flies!), so a new movie is due to raise even more awareness for the ride. That's the business for ya!

Tron Legacy without any of the good stuff.

Money laundering

[ZeroHour]

Neither Tron or Tron Legacy made money theatrically, right? I doubt a decade later sequel fronted by Jared Leto is likely to change that. Has there ever been a big budget franchise like this before that has never made money in theaters even with three times at bat?

Does Hellboy count? Also I think the last 3 or 4 Terminator movies have lost money theatrically.

[ZeroHour]

You’re right, Hellboy seems pretty comparable. I had thought of Terminator, but at least Terminator 2 was so huge (and still such a classic) that you can kind of squint and see why they keep trying to make that happen again.

I don’t know why Disney is even still bothering with Tron. I know it has a cult following, and that many people here wanted another one, but I just don’t think it’s ever going to be a thing. 

They also spent a crapload of money on Tron themed rides at the Shanghai and Florida Disneylands. I understad they were going to turn Space Mountain at Disneyland Anaheim into a Tron based attraction but that seems o thave been put on hold.

That's a good cast. I would be more excited if Cameron Monaghan were the main character tbh. he's a great actor and isn't all washed up and guaranteed box office bomb like Jared Leto.

I swear, a main reason they are making this is because disney invested al ot of money in a Tron ride at Disneyworld in Florida.
