The red carpet arrivals set the tone for the evening. Jared Leto, stepping into the role of Ares, received a wave of applause, while Jeff Bridges — returning as Kevin Flynn — was greeted with nostalgic excitement. Gillian Anderson impressed as Elisabeth Dillinger, a commanding new figure in the Grid. Cast members Evan Peters, Greta Lee, and Jodie Turner-Smith also brought their own energy to the celebration.
Director Joachim Rønning highlighted that Tron: Ares is more than a continuation; it’s a reinvention that explores identity, power, and the uneasy relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. The score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross promises to add a darker, atmospheric edge to the spectacle.
