Behind the scenes, the film brings together an impressive producing team: Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook, and Steven Lisberger—the original creator of TRON. Russell Allen also joins as executive producer, ensuring the new chapter remains true to its innovative roots.

Packed with action, awe-inspiring visuals, and existential questions about the future of artificial intelligence, TRON: Ares is set to electrify cinemas when it hits Australian theatres on October 9, 2025.

Fans of the franchise can expect a deeper exploration of the digital universe, a stunning new aesthetic, and an emotional story that challenges the boundary between man and machine.
