TRON: Ares Popcorn Buckets

Disney is getting ready to release TRON: Ares on October 10, 2025 and has a number of different TRON popcorn buckets and novelties ready for theater-goers. The movie follows the events of TRON: Legacy and for the first time brings programs into the real human world. The movie stars Jared Leto playing Ares, a sophisticated program that is sent from the digital world to the real world on a mission. The movie explores the battle between two companies over super digital intelligence in the real world. The movie will have a new soundtrack created by the band Nine Inch Nails.

AMC will also sell the TRON popcorn tub and likely some of the same cups Cinemark is offering. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more offerings from AMC revealed soon, as we learn more about the TRON popcorn buckets and novelties.
