Bridges originated his role as software engineer Kevin Flynn in filmmaker Steven Lisberger's original 1982 movie Tron and reprised it in director Joseph Kosinski's 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy that also starred Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde. Both previous movies are currently streaming on Disney+. Leto and Bridges attended CinemaCon and San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year to promote Tron: Ares. The project underperformed at the box office, collecting $142 million globally. In his review of Tron: Ares for The Hollywood Reporter, chief film critic David Rooney wrote that the core story elements were "familiar from countless movies." He added, "But a refreshingly subdued performance from Jared Leto as the eponymous program, Ares, supplies an emotional hook and even an occasional touch of humor, something missing from the earlier films. Leto is also well-paired with Greta Lee as Eve Kim, CEO of ENCOM, the tech corporation at the center of the series since the start."
