Our first Tron: Ares photo has been released by star Jared Leto for the upcoming Disney movie.
Tron: Ares will be directed by Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) from a screenplay written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne. Leto will play the titular character — a manifestation of a program that becomes sentient and crosses over into the human world.

Who’s in Tron: Ares?
Joining Leto are After Yang actor Jodie Turner-Smith, Past Lives breakout Greta Lee, Emmy winner Evan Peters, Shameless alum Cameron Monaghan, and Yellowjackets star Sarah Desjardins. The film is produced by Emma Ludbrook, Jeffrey Springer, and Leto. Russell Allen will serve as an executive producer.
The 1982 original centered on Jeff Bridges’ Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer transported into a fantastical virtual world and enlisted to topple an evil AI regime. Over three decades later, the film was followed by the Joseph Kosinski-helmed sequel Tron: Legacy, which starred Garett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen.
