Tron: Ares has been in the works for a while now: Plans for a third Tron movie were announced shortly after Tron: Legacy hit theaters in 2010, only to stall out in 2015. (The original Tron, starring Jeff Bridges, debuted in 1982.) Five years later, Leto signed on to star in a third movie, with Lion's Garth Davis attached to direct a new story focusing on Leto's new character. But Davis later dropped out and was replaced by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales helmer Joachim Rønning.

Now Tron: Ares is finally a go, with production beginning last month in Vancouver. In addition to Leto, the cast includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson.

"I'm excited to be part of the Tron franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world," Rønning said in a press release. "Tron: Ares builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid."

Tron: Ares is set to hit theaters in 2025.
