The first look at TRON: Ares presents a ridiculous concept for the franchise’s third film, but it’s precisely what I wanted to see after TRON: Legacy. TRON: Ares, the third film in the TRON franchise, has the potential to take the saga in an exciting direction later this year.

TRON: Ares, which stars Jared Leto as the titular character alongside Jeff Bridges reprising his beloved role of Kevin Flynn, is set to arrive in theaters later this fall, 15 years after TRON: Legacy was in theaters. The TRON franchise has its cult following, although the financial returns have never been as enticing as other Disney properties, with TRON: Legacy once being viewed as a franchise 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er. With that in mind, if TRON: Ares focuses on the right aspects of the film, it could buck this trend.
