TRON: Ares Has Officially Wrapped Production

TRON: Ares director Joachim Rønning has confirmed that the film has officially wrapped. It currently has an October 10, 2025 release date.



Article Summary

  • TRON: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning, has completed filming, eying a 2025 release.
  • Jeff Bridges’ brief on-set presence hints at a smaller role in the new TRON narrative.
  • The production team celebrated overcoming six grueling weeks of nighttime filming.
  • D23 Expo may tease early footage following the wrap-up of production for TRON: Ares.

Well, that answers that question. People were wondering how big of a role Jeff Bridges would have in the upcoming TRON: Ares, and considering that he was on set for less than a week, we can guess that it isn't a massive one. The new entry in the TRON series has been walking around with a gigantic question mark over it, with fans wondering if this was even a good idea. However, Disney is moving ahead with a third movie with a late 2025 release date. Production for the film began in January, so we knew it would be wrapping up soon, and according to director Joachim Rønning, it wrapped today. With some images on his feed credits to Leah Gallo, Rønning confirmed on his official Instagram that production had wrapped and thanked the crew for the six long weeks of night shoots they had just pulled off.

"That's a wrap on TRON:ARES 🥏 Thanks to an incredible and tireless crew, I believe we pushed this movie's filmmaking limits. Even through six weeks of night shoots you never slowed down. Also, a big thank you to our wonderful cast for leaving everything on screen. I can't wait to show the world what we've done 🥏🥏🥏 #TronAres"

Considering the amount of VFX work that needs to go into a film like TRON: Ares and leaving the door open for the inevitable reshoots that will have to happen, even if it's just two weeks of pickups, this timeline makes sense. It also means that the VFX artists won't rush to get this film done, considering this movie about technology is good. If this movie specifically looked cheaply made with bad VFX, the irony would be too much. Also, with the film wrapping, it likely means we'll maybe get some very early footage at the D23 Expo this August. We'll have to see.
