Disney has made a significant announcement at a recent fan event in Anaheim, California, revealing that Nine Inch Nails will compose the score for the highly anticipated film, Tron: Ares. This third installment in the iconic cyber-futuristic franchise is slated for release in October 2025.
The creative minds behind Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, are no strangers to film scoring, having crafted soundtracks for over a dozen movies, including the Academy Award-winning The Social Network. This project marks a groundbreaking moment as it will be the first official score attributed to Nine Inch Nails, featuring original tracks from the band—its first new music since the 2020 release of the Ghosts series.
Tron: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning, boasts a star-studded cast including Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, and Greta Lee. This film serves as a continuation of the narrative established in 2010’s Tron: Legacy, which featured a score by electronic duo Daft Punk. While details on possible band cameos remain unclear, anticipation is building following the trailer debut at the event, which included a snippet of the band’s 1989 track “Something I Can Never Have.”
Stay tuned for more updates as this groundbreaking collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and Disney unfolds.
