Disney is entering the Grid once more — Tron: Ares is headed to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, as revealed by The Wrap.
Directed by Joaquim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Tron: Ares follows a powerful program named Ares (Jared Leto) who is transmitted from the digital realm into the real world, marking the first contact between humans and artificial lifeforms born from the system.
The film, set to hit theaters October 10, continues a saga that began in 1982 with the original Tron. There’s no word yet on which cast members will be in attendance yet, and it’s certainly not a given that Leto will take to the stage given recent allegations. The cast also includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and Jeff Bridges returning as Kevin Flynn — the original creator of the digital frontier.
Could we also see a return of Flynn’s Arcade? We can only hope.
This news isn’t a huge shock, as Tron: Ares has taken over several of the Gaslamp banners — but it’s the first time that Walt Disney Studios has brought a non-Marvel film to the convention in many years.
