The upcoming Tron sequel, Tron: Ares, is still shrouded in secrecy--so much so that there hasn't even been a teaser trailer yet. Former Gotham star Cameron Monaghan--who has also lent his voice and likeness to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Jedi: Fallen Order--has a co-starring role in the film opposite Jared Leto, who will portray the title character, Ares. Via Collider, Monaghan revealed why he felt drawn to the franchise after seeing the 1982 original film and its 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy.

"I think I first saw the first Tron on a plane when I was younger," recalled Monaghan. "It was an international flight. I remember watching the original, and I thought it was from the '90s or something, because it was pretty amazing how a movie from that era could look that amazing, and utilizing computers the way they did."

"Then I went to the Tron: Legacy premiere when I was 16 years old, and had just done my first movie for Disney at the time," added Monaghan. "So, that was really cool getting to go to the El Capitan Theater in LA and seeing that on a big screen... That's a movie that, I think, has now grown a cult fandom, in a similar way that the original Tron did as well, where people thought it was very technologically cool but it's continued to grow... So I like that those movies have a number of years of separation between them. They don't come out very often, and every time they do, they show a new era of technology and filmmaking."
