Watch the trailer for Tron: Ares, soundtracked by Nine Inch Nails

Disney have unveiled the first trailer for this year’s Tron: Ares.

The third instalment in the franchise – following 2010’s Tron: Legacy – will hit cinemas on October 10, 2025, and it excitingly has a couple of tie-ins with the rock world: it’ll feature Thirty Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto playing titular protagonist Ares, and it includes a brand-new, original score from Nine Inch Nails men Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

In November, director Joachim Rønning said having NIN onboard made the movie “a little grittier, a little bit more industrial”. He added, “It’s been important for me to contrast The Grid and the real world. In that sense, Nine Inch Nails lends itself perfectly into this new Tron world that we are creating.”

A brief synopsis for the film reads: “Tron: Ares follows a 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 A.I. beings.”
