Teaser: Coming in 2025
Fans around the globe are patiently waiting for the release of Tron: Ares, a film sequel that arrives 15 years after Tron: Legacy. Set to drop next year, everyone's anticipated, including star actor Jared Leto who couldn't help but fan over the original Tron ride at Disneyland during his recent visit.
Daring to Ride the Lightcycle
Jared Leto, the rock artist and actor, took to Instagram sharing his adoration for the Tron Lightcycle/Run. This super-fun ride at Disneyland is a fan-favorite and Leto didn't shy away from the excitement. He can be heard in his post exclaiming “We gotta go, we gotta do this, man. Holy sh*t! I feel like I'm home!” Wanting the full experience, he insisted on riding the front cycle of the ride, bringing his fans along his fun-filled adventure. Though, some of his followers couldn't help but poke fun at him for not letting go of the handlebars.
Tron: Ares – What We Know So Far
In Tron: Ares, Leto stars as the title character, a digital-world entity who enters the real world for a perilous mission, introducing humans to artificial intelligence beings for the first time. Besides being an actor, Leto is also a producer for the film, which stars talented actors like Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Gillian Anderson, among others. Music aficionados, however, might be hurt to learn that Jared's band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, won't be creating the film's score. Instead, it's the turn of the renowned Nine Inch Nails.
Of course, Tron's popularity isn't a new phenomena. Tron: Legacy, which was released in 2010, was a big hit, making a whopping $400 million worldwide. It came as no surprise when Disneyland opened the first Tron Lightcycle ride in Shanghai in 2016, followed by a version in Magic Kingdom last year.
