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.
Cinemark revealed on their social media the popcorn buckets and novelties coming soon to theaters for the movie's release on October 10, 2025. Pictured above is the 3D TRON: Ares Lightcycle Popcorn Bucket, which will likely retail for around $50. Also featured are cups and a popcorn tub, which will also likely be offered at other theater chains.
