Jodie Turner-Smith Joins The Cast Of ‘Tron: Ares’ With Jared Leto And Evan Peters

Jodie Turner-Smith has been announced as the newest addition to the cast of the upcoming film ‘Tron: Ares.’ The 36-year-old actress will be starring alongside Jared Leto, Evan Peters, and Greta Lee in this highly anticipated third installment of the ‘Tron’ franchise.

Production Details

The motion picture is scheduled to commence filming in Vancouver in August, provided there is no strike by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Joachim Ronning will be directing the movie, with Leto portraying the lead character Ares, a manifestation of the Tron project.

‘Tron’ Franchise Background

‘Tron: Ares’ marks the return of Jared Leto to the ‘Tron’ series after 13 years since the release of the previous sequel, ‘Tron: Legacy.’ The original 1982 film starred Jeff Bridges as the lead actor and was followed by ‘Tron: Legacy,’ which hit theaters 28 years later. The franchise revolves around the story of a computer hacker who gets transported into a computer application called the Grid and is compelled to participate in challenges.

Previous Development Attempts

Joseph Kosinski directed ‘Tron: Legacy,’ but plans for him to helm the third installment were abandoned in 2015 after years of development. Another effort to revive the franchise in 2020, under the direction of Garth Davis, faced obstacles before receiving a push from Leto, who is also listed among the producers of the third film alongside Emma Ludbrook and Jeffrey Springer.

The addition of Jodie Turner-Smith to the cast of ‘Tron: Ares’ brings further excitement to the highly anticipated film. Fans of the ‘Tron’ franchise are eagerly looking forward to this third installment, which promises to continue the futuristic and visually stunning world introduced in the previous films.
