Article Summary

  • Disney unveils a new TV spot for TRON: Ares, highlighting fresh footage and a focus on the digital world invading ours.
  • The marketing for TRON: Ares ramps up, with the soundtrack taking center stage in recent promotions.
  • Fan reactions are mixed, with particular attention given to Jared Leto's portrayal of the lead character, Ares.
  • TRON: Ares faces stiff October competition, raising questions about its box office potential and fan draw.

Disney is doing exactly what we thought they would do, which is putting the foot on the gas in terms of the marketing for TRON: Ares. They are still leaning heavily into the soundtrack, which shows they have plenty of confidence in the music, but the movie is a different story. If you go through the comment sections of nearly anything TRON-related, the most common complaint about this movie is the casting of Jared Leto. Maybe he'll surprise us, but the new TV spot, which was released today, has a lot more dialogue from Leto's Ares, and, well, he's not a person to maybe the reading is supposed to be incredibly stilted. October has some fun films coming out, including Mortal Kombat II and some limited releases like Frankenstein from Netflix, and IFC just expanded the release of Good Boy. Is all of this going to be enough to pull in fans of the previous movies? We'll see, but this is far from a sure thing.
