Disney’s upcoming science fiction movie Tron: Ares has found its newest cast member in Yellowjackets star Sarah Desjardins.
How broken meeting, Desjardins was cast in the long-running Tron threequel. This revelation came shortly after the media reported that Cameron Monaghan was also involved in the film. As in the case of Monaghan, no details on Desjardins’ character in Tron: Ares are currently available.
Desjardins and Monaghan join a cast that already includes Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith and Greta Lee. As Deadline notes, Disney appears to be completing the cast of Tron: Ares ahead of a possible Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strike. Such a strike is expected to begin at midnight tonight if the actors’ union fails to reach a new agreement with major Hollywood studios and streamers. Assuming a SAG strike is avoided, filming on Tron: Ares will begin in August.
As for Desjardins, the actress is perhaps best known for her role as Callie Sadecki in the popular Showtime thriller Yellowjackets. She also plays the role of Maddie Redfield in the Netflix action thriller The Night Agent. Desjardins’ other credits include Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Van Helsing, Supernatural and Clue.
What is Tron: Ares about?
Tron: Ares is planned as the third feature film in Disney’s Tron series, following Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010). Ares is directed by Joachim Rønning from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne. The aforementioned lead actor Leto is serving as the project’s producer.
In that sense, the next Tron movie revolves around the eponymous Ares, a new character/computer program played by Leto. The plot reportedly revolves around Ares’ journey from the digital world to the human world. Beyond that, however, only a few details are known for the time being.
Tron: Ares has no release date yet. Meanwhile, Tron, Tron: Legacy and the animated series Tron: Uprising are streaming on Disney+.
