Jared Leto Went by Ares on Set of Tron: Ares, Says Jeff Bridges

Jared Leto is known for his method-acting ways when working on films, and that extends to the recently finished Tron: Ares, according to co-star Jeff Bridges.

Speaking during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe, Bridges talked about meeting Leto for the first time, and how he was told that Leto was already going by his character — Ares — name instead of his own.

What did Bridges say about Leto’s method acting?

“I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ because he was also a producer of the show, big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years. I came in, and you know how each set has a different vibe?” Bridges said. “There was an interesting vibe on this. I said, ‘How’s Jared? How’s he working?’ ‘He’s all right. You know, we call him Ares, you know, so he goes by his name,’ and I said, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’”

Alongside Leto and Bridges (the latter of whom is reprising his role as Kevin Flynn), Tron: Ares also stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and Sarah Desjardins.

Tron: Ares will be the third official feature film in Disney’s Tron franchise following 1982’s Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy. The film is directed by Joachim Rønning, who previously made 2019’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and 2024’s Young Woman and the Sea. He also co-directed 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales with Espen Sandberg.

Production on the new Tron movie officially wrapped in May 2024. Rønning wrote in an Instagram post at the time, “Thanks to an incredible and tireless crew, I really believe we pushed the filmmaking limits on this movie. 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.”

Tron: Ares will be released in United States theaters and IMAX on October 10, 2025, from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
