Jared Leto’s Arcade Origins

Jared Leto’s lifelong Tron obsession kicked off over 40 years ago at his local arcade, where he first squared off against The Grid’s neon bad guys. In the new film Tron: Ares, he and his co-stars tell IGN how those early quarters-and-joysticks moments shaped their performances, and how they translated the movie’s high-octane digital world into real-life stunts.

The interview also dives into each actor’s fondest gaming memories and debates whether future Tron sequels should stick with Ares’s blend of live-action versus CGI-powered computer battles. As Leto and company see it, that mix is key to keeping The Grid feeling fresh—on-screen and in our imaginations.
