The first trailer for TRON: Ares (2025) plunges viewers back into the mesmerizing, neon-lit digital world of the TRON universe, where technology, power, and humanity collide in thrilling new ways. Directed by Garth Davis, this highly anticipated sequel introduces Jared Leto as Ares, a formidable new figure within the Grid, while also bringing back Jeff Bridges as the legendary creator, Kevin Flynn.

The trailer begins with expansive shots of the Grid—a glowing, futuristic city filled with towering structures and glowing highways of light. The iconic TRON soundtrack sets the tone as Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) speaks in a voiceover about the delicate balance between the real world and the digital universe: “The Grid is evolving… but something far more dangerous is rising.”

The focus then shifts to Jared Leto’s character, Ares, a powerful and enigmatic program with an intimidating presence. Emerging from the shadows in sleek, high-tech armor, Ares ominously declares, “I was born from the code itself. I will bring order to the chaos.” His words suggest the dawn of a new era of control in the digital world, one that could threaten to bleed into the real world.

The trailer is filled with iconic TRON visuals: light cycle races at high speeds, intense disc battles in vibrant neon-lit arenas, and programs maneuvering through futuristic cityscapes. The visuals are sharp and dynamic, filled with the signature glowing lines and holographic environments that define the TRON aesthetic. The blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling in this preview hints at an epic expansion of the TRON universe.
