'TRON: Ares' Unleashes AI Into the Real World in Trailer Reveal
Disneyhas just unveiled the trailer forTron: Aresgiving fans the first full look at the third chapter in Disney's iconicTRONfranchise — and it's unlike anything we've seen from the series so far. Set to hit theatres on October 10, 2025, this new installment doesn't just return to the digital world. It brings it crashing into ours.
Instead of humans entering the Grid like in previous films,Tron: Aresflips the formula. StarringJared Letoas a powerful program named Ares sent from the digital world into the real one. Described as 'biblically strong, lightning fast, supremely intelligent,' Ares is a weaponized AI created by tech mogul Julian Dillinger played byEvan Peters. The trailer frames the conflict as technology versus nature, with Dillinger coldly stating, 'If he's destroyed, I'll just remake him,' highlighting the dangerous ease with which artificial intelligence can be treated as disposable.
The trailer wastes no time diving into the chaos. It's a high-stakes collision of digital power and human vulnerability, arriving at a time when conversations around AI feel more real than ever. The cast is stacked. Alongside Leto and Peters, the film starsGreta Lee,Gillian Anderson,Hasan Minhaj,Jodie Turner-Smith,Cameron Monaghan, Arturo Castro, and a returningJeff Bridgesas Kevin Flynn. While Bridges' role seems smaller this time around, his presence ties the past to this new evolution.
Visually, it's exactly what fans hoped for — a neon-soaked spectacle that pushes theTRONaesthetic even further. From slick armor to hyper-stylized action, director Joachim Rønning is clearly honoring the franchise's legacy while updating it for 2025's expectations.
Following the legendary scores byDaft Punkin their last filmTron: Legacy, the upcoming film tapsNine Inch Nailsfor the soundtrack. The trailer features the debut of their new single, 'As Alive as You Need Me to Be,' setting a gritty, unworldly tone that fits perfectly within theTRONuniverse. The full score arrives September 19, 2025, ahead of the film's release.
With a flipped premise, a heavy-hitting cast, and a sound that demands your attention,Tron: Aresis shaping up to be more than a sequel — it's a statement. And if this trailer is anything to go by, we're in for a wild, wired ride.

Comcast Profit Jumps 183% on $9.4 Billion Sale of Hulu Stake
Comcast Corporation saw a substantial net income lift in the second quarter of 2025, owing to the sale of its Hulu share to Disney. Net income was reported as $11.1 billion on Thursday thanks to the $9.4 billion the company received from the sale. Revenue also increased 2.1% over the quarter to hit $30.3 billion. This was partially due to growth in the company's Content and Experiences division, which saw a 6% uptick in revenue due to the opening of Universal's latest Orlando theme park, Epic Universe. Connectivity revenue also increased 5.4% due to growth in domestic broadband and wireless as well as international connectivity and business services connectivity. More from TheWrap Comcast Profit Jumps 183% on $9.4 Billion Sale of Hulu Stake 'South Park' Season 27 Premiere Nabs Almost 6 Million Viewers Across Platforms, Biggest Linear Share Since 1999 'Superman' Soars as the No. 1 Title Audiences Are Most Excited About for 7th Consecutive Week | Chart Paramount Needs 'South Park' — Despite the Ridicule and $1.5 Billion Price Tag | Analysis As for the television and film side of the business, media EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased 9.3% year over year to hit $1.5 billion. This uptick was largely driven by Peacock, which increased its revenue by 18% to hit $1.2 billion during the quarter, as well as decreases in programming and production costs. Peacock's EBITDA losses also accounted for $101 million, a $247 million improvement from the year prior. The studios division saw a EBITDA decrease of 31%, accounting for $85 million. Despite seeing an 8% increase in revenue over the quarter, higher operating expenses led to the overall decline. Specifically, those expenses reflected higher costs connected to content licensing sales as well as higher marketing andpromotion expenses that were spent on both recent and upcoming theatrical film releases. Two of the company's buzziest movies — the live action 'How to Train Your Dragon' and 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' — premiered in summer, which partially accounted for the increased costs. The profits from both of those movies will likely be better reflected in Comcast's third quarter report. Here are the key takeaways: Net income: $11.1 billion, up 183% year over year. On an adjusted basis, net income fell 1.7% to $4.65 billion. Earnings per share: $2.98 per share, compared to $4.06 per share expected by analysts surveyed by Yahoo Finance. Revenue: $30.3 billion, compared to $123.6 billion expected by analysts surveyed by Yahoo Finance. The latest quarterly results come as Comcast is preparing to spin off its cable network portfolio into a publicly traded, standalone company called Versant by the end of 2025. Versant, which is expected to reach over 65 million U.S. households and generate $7 billion in annual revenue, will house MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, Golf Channel and digital assets Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and SportsEngine. The move will be tax-free to Comcast's shareholders. Last week, Versant unveiled its full board of directors, which will include its CEO Mark Lazarus, former Yum Brands! CEO David Novak as chairman and Disney's former international content and operations chairman Rebecca Campbell, among others. It also comes as NBCUniversal recently closed its upfront negotiations, touting a nearly 15% year over year increase in ad commitments across its broadcast offerings, including news, sports and entertainment. It also said it was the largest digital upfront and strongest sports upfront in history, though it offered no hard numbers. Versant, which will continue to be represented by NBCU in the next two upfront cycles, saw a nearly 10% increase in clients investing in its brands, while Peacock saw an over 20% year over year increase, representing nearly a third of the media giant's total upfront commitments. The company's new 11-year media rights deal with the NBA contributed to a 20% increase in new clients compared to the 2024-2025 season and a 45% year over year increase in volume. Over 25% of NBCUniversal's NBA advertisers will be new to broadcast this year. Peacock has hiked the price of its plans by $3 per month, with its premium plan hitting $10.99 per month and premium plus plan hitting $16.99 per month. The change took effect for new customers on July 23 and will impact existing customers on Aug. 22. It also is testing a $7.99 per month Select tier, which will feature current seasons of NBC and Bravo programming and a broad assortment of library titles.

Lindsay Lohan's Hair Is So Parent Trap Coded
All products featured on Allure are independently selected by Allure editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Lindsay Lohan may be doing the rounds to promote the long-awaited sequel to her Freaky Friday remake (yes, youngsters, it's a remake), Freakier Friday, but her latest in a vast, stylish array of premiere and TV-appearance looks is a nod to another one of her beloved Disney remakes, The Parent Trap. Lohan has been going super-glam for the Freakier Friday red carpets over the last week, wearing two different shades of pink gowns. But for an appearance on Good Morning America bright and early Monday morning, the actor pivoted to a preppy look, wearing a yellow, plaid, tweed miniskirt suit that, at first glance, might strike you as something straight out of Clueless. But lift your eyes to Lohan's hair and another reference becomes very apparent—at least to millennials. There, atop Lohan's head, is a yellow headband. And even though she's traded in her signature red hair for golden blonde, the look immediately brings up memories of when she played long-lost twins Annie and Hallie in 1998's The Parent Trap. Although Lohan's headband is a solid yellow, she channels the yellow plaid pattern of Annie's headband into her ensemble, so it's simply reminiscent and not completely on-the-nose. Even the headband width and placement are perfect tributes to that adorable Parent Trap look. If you were on the fence about the yellow trend and unsure how to work it into your look, let 1998 and 2025 Lindsay Lohan serve as inspiration and grab yourself a structured, sleek, yellow headband for your summer-to-fall transition. We love the Emi Jay Starlet Headband for a subtle way to work the shade into your style.
