The release of TRON: ARES marks an exciting moment for fans of the franchise. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film is anticipated to achieve strong box office performance in its opening weekend, both in the U.S. and internationally. Its future, however, may depend on audience reception and ticket sales in the following weeks. A successful launch could pave the way for a potential TRON 4.
Mid-Credits Scene Hints at Future Developments
Fans should keep an eye out for the film’s mid-credits scene, which teases the continuation of the story. In a twist, villain Julian Dillinger, played by Evan Peters, manages to escape justice, finding refuge in a self-made digital realm. The closing moments of the film reveal a mysterious disk that transforms Julian, encasing him in the iconic armor of Sark, a character from the original TRON released in 1982.
This transformation positions Julian as the host for a new version of Sark, who might assume a more significant role in future adventures. With connections to the original story, the potential return of this revamped villain adds complexity to Julian’s character, as he grapples with his heritage as the grandson of Ed Dillinger.
