‘Tron: Ares’ First Look Dazzles Disney’s D23 As Light Cycles Slice Into The Real World

It use to be we’d be transported into the video game world of Tron. Well, in Tron: Ares as Evan Peters‘ villain Julian Dillinger says in the clip that was unveiled at D23 on Friday, “We’re not going there, they are coming here.”

The light cycles of Tron are seen speeding through city streets, leaving laser thin wakes behind them, and splicing cars on the street in half. Jared Leto plays the Tron-like character, clad in red while Greta Lee plays a “brilliant programmer whose great work has Ares coming into the world.” The actress was on stage with Leto, Peters and Jeff Bridges on the Honda Center stage.

Leto in the voice-over of the trailer says, “I came here to find something…something important.” We see him zooming on a light cycle with Lee’s character.

Bridges, who is the hacker and original video game character Kevin Flynn, appears as something of an apparition at the end in white clad robes.
