Considered a cult classic among Disney and science fiction fans, the TRON franchise has had a fascinating history. The first film, TRON (1982), starred Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn as he tries to escape cyberspace. Its sequel, TRON: Legacy (2010), followed Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn, Kevin Flynn’s son, and Olivia Wilde as Quorra, an algorithm inside the computer, as they searched for Jeff Bridges’ character.
Although the films didn’t perform as well at the box office as the studio wanted, both films are beloved by fans for their iconic light cycle races, visual effects, and music provided by Daft Punk. The films have also been seen as a world in the Kingdom Hearts video games and a ride at Walt Disney World Resort.
Now, the TRON series will finally get its third entry, TRON: Ares (2025). And Disney has just announced two of its newest stars.
