As a large fan of all issues Tron, from the earlier two movies to the quite a few video video games to the superb Disney World curler coaster, I’m as excited as anyone {that a} third movie, Tron: Ares, is nearing its launch. For a very long time, it appeared this movie may by no means occur, and now, not solely is it set to happen, however Jeff Bridges will in some way return.
We’ve identified for some time that Jeff Bridges would seem within the new movie, regardless of his character Flynn showing to die in Tron: Legacy. We obtained our first have a look at Bridges’ return in the newest Tron: Ares trailer, and whereas it doesn’t clarify something, it does have lots of people on-line, and now myself, pondering that Jeff Bridges is wanting an terrible lot like Marlon Brando within the unique Superman.

When you see it, it’s fairly laborious to unsee. Bridges is wearing a white robe, has white hair, is standing in entrance of a stark background, and even has a glowing brand proper the place Brando’s Jor-El does in Superman. The one factor Brando is lacking is Bridges’ cool beard. A number of followers are seeing the parallel, and making feedback like…
Bro what’s Jor-El doing on Tron
Truthfully, he appears to be like a bit like Jor-El, irrespective of which Superman film you watch, because the shock Jor-El cameo within the model new Superman is clearly impressed by Brando’s efficiency, with comparable monochrome outfits. And that actor even has a beard, making him look as very similar to Jeff Bridges in Tron: Ares as Brando.
I assumed he was enjoying Jor-El….. pic.twitter.com/p5FQrAFz93July 17, 2025
To be truthful, Jeff Bridges doesn’t look all that completely different from the best way Flynn regarded in Tron: Legacy. The outfit was very comparable. Though it was lacking the glowing brand on the chest, which definitely goes a good distance by itself to constructing that Superman-like look. What that brand means, if something, is a doubtlessly fascinating query. It’s doable the similarity is intentional, because it’s unlikely the filmmakers wouldn’t have observed the resemblance, contemplating what number of followers have immediately made the reference to feedback like @tronparallels…
shut sufficient, welcome again jor-el
It’s even doable that Bridges’ efficiency goes to fill a considerably comparable position to that of Jor-El, at the least within the unique Superman film. It’s not truly clear if Bridges is enjoying Flynn or just assuming the type of Flynn. He might be a part of the system, speaking with Ares and offering him with data, as a pre-recorded Jor-El does in educating Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
Even when Flynn appears to be like like Jor-El, and even when that’s all I’ll be enthusiastic about when he reveals up in Tron: Ares, I don’t care. The truth that a brand new Tron film is coming, and Jeff Bridges is a part of it, is what issues.
