Tron: Ares star Cameron Monaghan has shared an exciting update on the threequel, teasing its groundbreaking visual effects.

"I think this one, in a very similar way, is going to really push forward what can be done, from a visual perspective," he told Collider at Calgary Expo. "I would sometimes even come in on days I wasn’t working, because that set was really amazing. A lot of the practical sets were pretty phenomenal, and I would love to go look at those as well."

Earlier this year, Disney released the first look at Tron: Ares, featuring a hi-tech suit. They also shared a synopsis for the sequel, confirming that it "follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares." The action picks up when Ares "is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with AI beings."

The movie started filming in January in Vancouver, and is directed by Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil director Joachim Rønning.

Tron: Ares will be released in theaters on October 10, 2025. For more, check out our guide to the best sci-fi movies of all time, as well as all the upcoming movies on the way.
