With more than a year until Tron: Ares hits theaters, Jared Leto appears to be homesick for his onscreen digital kingdom.

While touring around Florida with Thirty Seconds to Mars, the actor and musician recently made a stop at Disney World to try out the Tron Lightcycle Run ahead of Disney‘s Oct. 10, 2025 premiere for Tron: Ares.

“When in Florida,” he captioned a video of the trip, adding: “PS this ride goes pretty hard has anyone tried it?”

As he and a friend approached the ride, Leto declared, “We gotta do this, man. Holy s—, I feel like I’m home! … I gotta be in the front, man.”

After Leto became attached as producer and star of Tron: Ares in 2017, Disney tapped Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) to direct the threequel last year. Although the SAG-AFTRA strike temporarily shut down production, filming began in January.

Leto stars as 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 AI beings.

Jeff Bridges, who starred in the original Tron (1982) and the 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy, reprises his role as video game programmer Kevin Flynn. The movie also stars Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson.

This month at the D23 Expo, Disney revealed a first look at Tron: Ares, which features a score by Trent Reznor‘s Nine Inch Nails.
