The posters highlight characters played by Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Evan Peters, and Gillian Anderson, teasing the next chapter in the Tron saga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">It\u2019s cool to see Jeff Bridges&#8217; back in the role of the iconic character Kevin Flynn. After being digitally de-aged in Tron: Legacy, it looks like we\u2019ll finally see Flynn return as his older self, and fans are here for it. How big a role he\u2019ll play this time is still a mystery, especially with Leto\u2019s Ares possibly positioned as the franchise\u2019s new frontman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Tron: Ares introduces a cutting-edge Program named Ares who is sent from the digital Grid into the real world. This marks humanity\u2019s first direct interaction with an artificial intelligence being in the Tron universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Director Joachim R\u00f8nning gave some interesting insight into Leto\u2019s character, saying: &#8220;Not to be too clich\u00e9d, but I always thought about him a bit like Pinocchio. Ares wants to be a real boy. We talked a lot about him almost being an infant, discovering the world for the first time, and how we wanted the audience to see the world through his eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">He added: &#8220;The little things that we take for granted, or don\u2019t see anymore. That was important. And then a bigger theme for the film is what it takes \u2014 what it means \u2014 to be human. Especially in this case, because he\u2019s a computer program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">There&#8217;s cautious excitement surrounding Tron: Ares, although Leto\u2019s involvement has drawn some skepticism given his rocky history in blockbusters like Suicide Squad and Morbius. Still, Disney is banking on the franchise\u2019s loyal fanbase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters on October 10, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney has dropped six slick new character posters for the upcoming sci-fi flick Tron: Ares, and they&#8217;re giving&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135333,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-135332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
