The #1 Trending Trailer on YouTube is a Mind-Blowing Disney Throwback

One of the most groundbreaking sci-fi movies of the 1980s was, without a doubt, the original Tron, one of Disney's riskiest projects ever. Before 1982, no movie had ever incorporated animated video game-style visuals into a live-action cinematic experience. In 2010, Tron: Legacy rebooted the concept and brought us back to a new version of the virtual reality world inside of a vast computer network. And now, the number one trending movie trailer on YouTube is the first big preview for Tron: Ares, the upcoming third film in the saga.

Right away, this trailer will blow away longtime fans of the series. Why? Well, this time, the familiar Light Cycles from the Grid are blazing a trail in the real world. Watch the exciting trailer right here:

How or why digital programs from the Grid have entered the real world remains to be seen, but, we do know that the film will see the return of Jeff Bridges as Flynn, a video game designer who was sent into the digital world in the first movie. The movie also stars Jared Leto as the titular "Ares," a program who is sent into the real world along with whoever else is attacking humankind.

The trailer also reveals Greta Lee's character Eve Kim, who plays a programmer who will form a partnership with Leto's Ares. The trailer also features the first taste of the film's soundtrack. While the 2010 film was famously scored by Daft Punk, Tron: Ares will feature new music from Nine Inch Nails.

Tron: Ares hits theaters on October 10, 2025.
