Introduction to Tron: Ares
The wait is finally over for fans of the Tron series, as Disney has just released the first trailer for Tron: Ares, the long-planned sequel to Tron: Legacy. This minute-and-a-half trailer gives us a glimpse into the movie’s visuals, which are dark, moody, and filled with the series’ signature light trails.
Trailer Breakdown
The trailer opens in the physical world at night, showing Jared Leto’s character, Ares, a Program made physical, fleeing from police on a light cycle. Ares uses his light trail as a weapon, slicing a police vehicle in half. The shots that follow show a massive airship hovering over the real-world city, visible only by the red light strips on its outside. We also see people looking on in horror at the airship, dogfights between human aircraft and fighters from the Tron digital world, and what looks like a clip of Ares being given his physical body.
