Jared Leto Gives Fans a First Look at His ‘Tron: Ares’ Character
While Tron fans are still over a year away from getting to return to the Grid, Jared Leto has finally given us a glimpse at his upcoming character in Tron: Ares.
In an Instagram post, Leto unveiled his Ares character, who is wearing a black and red light suit. Along with the image, the actor posted a short video that begins with a hashtag reading ““#SYSTEMCTL START ARES” before a pixelated reveal of his character unfolds. The entire post was captioned:
“RE YOU READY??

See you on the grid… 🥏”

After a series of delays, Tron: Ares officially began filming last month under the watchful eye of director Joachim Ronning.

Ronning, who has kept fans apprised of the progress of Tron: Ares, took to social media to announce the film’s initial delay.
“Today was supposed to be our first day of principal photography on ‘Tron: Ares’ (a movie subsequently about AI and what it means, and takes, to be human),” Ronning wrote. “Instead, we are shut down with over a hundred and fifty people laid off. It’s indefinite, which makes it exponentially harder for everyone.”

While we don’t know a ton about the story that Tron: Ares will tell, we do know that the traditional Tron structure will be flipped on its head when a threat emerges from the computer world into the real world.
