NEWS: Disney+ Release Date Revealed for ‘Tron: Ares’

The latest installment of Disney’s cult favorite TRON franchise is coming to Disney+!

2025’s TRON: Ares, the third film in the science fiction series that began over 4 decades ago, is set to debut on the streaming service on January 7th.

According to Disney, the streaming version of the film will be the “latest film available in IMAX Enhanced on Disney+, featuring IMAX’s exclusive expanded aspect ratio for all Disney+ subscribers, ensuring that the filmmakers’ creative intent is fully preserved for a more immersive viewing experience at home. Subscribers with certified TVs and AV receivers can also experience IMAX Enhanced sound powered by DTS, featuring the full dynamic range of the original cinematic mix.”

TRON: Ares follows a “highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.” The Joachim Rønning-directed film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and franchise icon Jeff Bridges.

The film, which was released theatrically in October 2025, has grossed approximately $73 million in the United States as part of an overall worldwide total of approximately $142 million worldwide, well below the film’s roughly $347 million budget, including marketing.

However, the film — and its Nine Inch Nails soundtrack — did inspire a well-received temporary themed overlay of TRON: Lightcycle Run at the Magic Kingdom.

TRON: Ares, the latest installment in Disney’s sci-fi franchise, is scheduled to arrive on Disney+ on January 7th. Stay tuned to AllEars for further updates on all the latest additions to Disney+.
