Tron: Ares has been in the works for a while now: Plans for a third
Tron movie were announced shortly after
Tron: Legacy hit theaters in 2010, only to
stall out in 2015. (The original
Tron, starring
Jeff Bridges, debuted in 1982.) Five years later,
Leto signed on to star in a third movie, with
Lion's Garth Davis attached to direct a new story focusing on Leto's new character. But Davis later dropped out and
was replaced by
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales helmer Joachim Rønning.
Now
Tron: Ares is finally a go, with production beginning last month in Vancouver. In addition to Leto, the cast includes
Greta Lee,
Evan Peters,
Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro,
Cameron Monaghan, and
Gillian Anderson.
"I'm excited to be part of the
Tron franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world," Rønning said in a press release. "
Tron: Ares builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid."
Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters in 2025.
