Tron Ares Fun Facts:
Semi-Reboot:
Instead of a direct sequel to Tron: Legacy, a new story with Jared Leto's character, Ares, was developed, and the franchise decided to explore a new direction with a semi-reboot.
Score by Nine Inch Nails:
The soundtrack is composed by Nine Inch Nails. According to director Joachim Rønning, this choice of sound was used to give the movie a "grittier" and "more industrial" feel, contrasting the real world and the Grid.
Legend Return:
Jeff Bridges, who starred in the original Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010), is returning and reprising his role as Kevin Flynn.
Impressive Cast of Heavyweights:
Along with Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges, the movie features an impressive lineup of cast, including Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Gillian Anderson.
No AI-Generated Character in Film:
The plan to add an AI-generated character in the film was abandoned by the studio to avoid possible backlash and controversy surrounding the use of AI in filmmaking.
The Greek God of War:
The name "Ares" is not just by chance. It refers to the Greek God of War, and Jared Leto's character appears to reflect that. The storyline suggests an imminent clash between mankind and AI, with Ares at the center of the conflict.
