Oscar winner Jared Leto (52, “Dallas Buyers Club”) gets his fans in the mood for his next science fiction project. “Are you ready?”, the actor wrote on Instagram on Thursday (local time) about a first photo of his character Ares in the black cyber outfit from the film “Tron: Ares”. He also announced the 2025 film.
Leto represents an AI figure from the digital world tasked with injecting artificial intelligence into humanity. In addition to Leto, the Disney production also stars Jodie Turner-Smith (37, “White Noise”), Greta Lee (40, “Past Lives”) and Evan Peters (37, “Dahmer”). Filming under the direction of Joachim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean – Salazar’s Revenge”, “Maleficent 2”) has begun in Vancouver, Canada, the industry newspaper “Hollywood Reporter” reported.
In the groundbreaking 1982 original film “Tron,” Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner played programmers in a cyberworld long before the dawn of the digital age. The duo appeared in the 2010 sequel “Tron: Legacy” alongside Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde, directed by Joseph Kosinski.
Leto, who has long been confirmed as the lead actor for the planned third installment, is also on board as a producer. He won an Oscar in 2014 for his supporting role in the AIDS drama ‘Dallas Buyers Club’. Most recently, he appeared in films such as “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, “House of Gucci”, “Morbius” and “Ghost Mansion”. (saw/sda/dpa)
