New Tron: Ares photos featuring a key antagonistic character, portrayed by a Marvel actor, have been released. Tron: Ares is the upcoming third entry in the Tron film series. It was preceded by 1982\u2019s Tron and 2010\u2019s Tron: Legacy. There was also an animated TV spin-off titled Tron: Uprising, which aired for 19 episodes on Disney XD between 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n

Evan Peters and Gillian Anderson appear in new Tron: Ares photos<\/p>\n

Evan Peters\u2019 Julian Dillinger looks suave and mysterious in the newly released photos from Tron: Ares. In one of them, Julian appears alongside a character portrayed by Gillian Anderson. The Sex Education actor is playing Julian\u2019s mother, whose name is reportedly Elisabeth, in the movie.<\/p>\n

In an interview published in the new issue of Empire<\/a> magazine, Anderson reflected on her character\u2019s relationship with Julian. She observed, \u201cHaving a son that behaves in the way that Julian does, and trying to deal with his actions, both emotionally and logistically \u2014 it adds a level of stress and strain to their relationship\u201d (via ComicBook<\/a>).<\/p>\n

When the first footage from Tron: Ares was released at D23 Expo, Peters spoke about the familial legacy of his character. \u201cDillinger doesn\u2019t always mean great things for those on the grid,\u201d he said (via Variety<\/a>). This is likely a reference to the fact that David Warner\u2019s Ed Dillinger is the primary antagonist in the first movie.<\/p>\n

The official logline for Tron: Ares reads, \u201cA highly sophisticated Program called Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind\u2019s first encounter with A.I. beings.\u201d <\/p>\n

Joachim R\u00f8nning, known for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, has directed the feature. Jesse Wigutow wrote the script from a story he developed with David Digilio, based on the characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird.<\/p>\n

The cast also includes Jared Leto as Ares, Greta Lee as Eve Kim, Jodie Turner-Smith as Athena, and Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn.<\/p>\n
