‘Tron: Ares‘ Underperforms Amidst Jared Leto‘s Controversial Image
The Disney release Tron: Ares is facing critical disappointment following its debut, with early reviews citing issues potentially linked too star Jared Leto’s public image. Despite a substantial budget, visual effects, and a soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails, the film is currently tracking for a lackluster box office performance.
Leto’s career has been marked by both critical acclaim and controversy. Past allegations of misconduct have led to periods of public discrediting, yet hollywood has consistently offered him roles, including the lead in Tron: Ares. The film’s poor reception raises questions about whether Leto’s past controversies are now impacting his projects’ success,and what this means for his future in leading roles.
Filmtotaal.nl reports the initial reviews for Tron: Ares are “anything but good.” Leto is also slated to appear as Skeletor in the upcoming live-action masters of the Universe and will collaborate with Lupita Nyong’o on Lunik Heist, a film centered on a 1959 plot to steal a Russian spacecraft. Whether these projects can revitalize his career remains to be seen.
