Feeling Right at Home

With more than a year until “Tron: Ares” hits theaters, Jared Leto appears to be homesick for his onscreen digital kingdom.

While touring around Florida with Thirty Seconds to Mars, the actor and musician recently made a stop at Disney World to try out the Tron Lightcycle Run ahead of Disney’s October 10, 2025 premiere for “Tron: Ares.”

“When in Florida,” he captioned a video of the trip, adding: “PS this ride goes pretty hard has anyone tried it?”

As he and a friend approached the ride, Leto declared, “We gotta do this, man. Holy s—, I feel like I’m home! … I gotta be in the front, man.”

After Leto became attached as producer and star of “Tron: Ares” in 2017, Disney tapped Joachim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”, “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”) to direct the threequel last year. Although the SAG-AFTRA strike temporarily shut down production, filming began in January.

Leto stars as highly sophisticated program Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with AI beings.

Jeff Bridges, who starred in the original “Tron” (1982) and the 2010 sequel “Tron: Legacy”, reprises his role as video game programmer Kevin Flynn. The movie also stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson.

This month at the D23 Expo, Disney revealed a first look at “Tron: Ares”, which features a score by Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails.
