Just two days after the teaser for Tron: Ares debuted at CinemaCon, an official trailer has now dropped.
Disney’s Tron: Ares, the long-awaited sequel to 2010’s Tron: Legacy, released the first trailer on Saturday, which sees 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,” reads the logline. Jeff Bridges, who starred as Kevin Flynn in the original 1982 film, says in the voiceover: “Ready? Because there’s no going back.”
Evan Peters also appears in the trailer, looking up at the sky, which has no shortage of red lasers.
On Wednesday, Leto and Bridges took to the stage at CinemaCon to debut Tron: Ares’ teaser. “Well, first off, as a kid I was obsessed with Tron. It was the ‘80s, and the future felt like it was just around the corner. … Tron had action, adventure, spandex — lots of spandex,” Leto said before adding that his character is on a “do or die mission to fulfill his direction.”
He also noted that for the fans who grew up loving the original Tron, this one “will hit you right in the grid, wherever that is.”
Directed by Joachim Rønning, the movie also stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson.
Leto, Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger produce, while Russell Allen executive produces. The rock band Nine Inch Nails is scoring the film.
Tron: Ares is out in theaters Oct. 10.
