Los Angeles, CA – Production of the highly anticipated film “Tron: Ares” has finally begun after being delayed by Hollywood strikes. Director Joachim Rønning shared on Instagram that the film wrapped its first week of production on Friday. Originally scheduled to start in August 2023, the strikes pushed back the production start date, causing frustration among the filmmakers. The strikes led to the layoff of 150 crew members as negotiations between Hollywood directors and the AMPTP continued.
“Tron: Ares”, also referred to as “Tr3n” in its logo, has been in development for quite some time. After Disney acquired Marvel and Star Wars, the sci-fi series was initially shelved. However, plans changed last year, and the film finally went into production with Rønning at the helm. The plot details of the third installment are currently scarce, but it is known that Jared Leto will have the lead role and serve as a producer. The film will also feature actors Jodie Turner-Smith, Cameron Monaghan, Evan Peters, and Greta Lee. It remains unclear how the film will continue the story from “Tron: Legacy” and if any of the original cast members will make an appearance.
Originally set to release in 2025, “Tron: Ares” does not have a confirmed release date yet. The five-month production delay may result in a further push to the following year. Fans eagerly await more news and updates on the long-awaited return of the “Tron” franchise.
