Days after debuting footage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Disney released the first “Tron: Ares” trailer online for all to see. The sequel, directed by Joaquim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”), follows a program called Ares (Jared Leto) who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.
The trailer takes place mostly in that real world, with haunting footage of massive game tech (and lightcycles) crashing into reality while new characters played by Greta Lee and Evan Peters look on in horror.
