It’s only been thirteen years, but Disney has finally decided that now is a pretty good time to make a sequel to Tron: Legacy. Titled Tron: Ares, the futuristic video game movie has Jared Leto in the title role of Ares, and recently Evan Peters, aka Quicksilver from the X-Men movies, joined him. Now two more big names have entered the Grid.
Deadline reports that Without Remorse star Jodie Turner-Smith and Past Lives breakout Greta Lee have joined Tron: Ares. It’s unclear Turner-Smith’s role at this point, but Lee is expected to play a video game programmer and tech baron bent on protecting her technology.
The story, penned by Jack Thorne and Jesse Wigutow, centers on Ares, who breaks free from the Grid and enters the human world. Joachim Rønning is on board to direct, having previously worked with Disney on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Turner-Smith was recently seen in Netflix’s Murder Mystery 2. She will have a role in Star Wars: The Acolyte, an upcoming Disney+ series. Lee can be seen right now in the hit drama Past Lives.
