The New Tron Film Cast Think They Could Endure in Select Gaming Worlds (and We Rated Their Likelihood)

The original director's iconic 1982 film Tron largely takes place within the virtual world inside video games, where digital beings, portrayed as human-like figures in neon-streaked attire, compete on the Grid in lethal games. The characters are ruthlessly killed (or “erased”) in the Disc Arena and crushed by force fields in light-cycle showdowns. Joseph Kosinski's 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy goes back inside the computer world for additional vehicle combat and more combat on the Grid.

The filmmaker's Legacy follow-up Tron: Ares employs a somewhat lesser game-like approach. In the movie, virtual characters still battle each other for survival on the virtual arena, but primarily in critical battles over classified data, functioning as agents for their company developers. Security programs and infiltration programs engage on corporate systems, and in the outside world, large vehicles and speed bikes brought from the virtual world operate as they do in the digital environment.

The soldier software the protagonist (Jared Leto) is another new innovation: a advanced warrior who can be endlessly replicated to fight wars in our world. But would the flesh-and-blood star have the practical abilities to endure if he was inserted into one of the digital arena's challenges? In a current media gathering, actors and filmmakers of Tron: Ares were inquired what digital environments they would be most likely to make it through. Here are their replies — but we have our own evaluations about their skills to persist inside virtual worlds.

Greta Lee

Part: In Tron: Ares, Greta Lee embodies the CEO, the CEO of ENCOM, who is distracted from her executive duties as she tries to recover the “permanence code” assumed to be remaining by Kevin Flynn (the star).

The virtual world Greta Lee feels she could endure in: “My little ones are very into Minecraft,” she states. “I would never want them to know this, but [Minecraft] is so amazing, the realms that they create. I believe I would like to go onto one of the environments that they've made. My little one has constructed this one with creatures — it's just packed with feathered friends, because he is fond of parrots.”

The actress's probability of success: A high percentage. If she simply stays with her little ones' birds, she's secure. But it's unknown whether she knows how to evade or deal with a hostile mob.

Evan Peters

Role: Evan Peters portrays Julian Dillinger, the chief of opposing corporation the organization and relative of the original character (the actor) from the first Tron.

The digital environment Evan Peters believes he could endure in: “I'd certainly be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” he remarked. “I would go into BioShock.” Explaining that reply to colleague the actress, he explains, “It is such a excellent game, it’s the top. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, amazing post-apocalyptic environments in Fallout, and BioShock is an subterranean, run-down nightmare.” Was he comprehend the question? Unknown.

The actor's chances of success: In BioShock? Five percent, comparable to any other average person's odds in Rapture. In any of the post-apocalyptic game? A modest chance, only based on his charm level.

The Actress

Character: Anderson embodies the matriarch, guardian to Julian and offspring to Ed. She’s the ex CEO of Dillinger Systems, and a significantly level-headed director than the character.

The digital environment Anderson feels she could endure in: “Pong,” remarked Anderson, despite her evident experience with the title Myst and her featured appearance in the 1998's interactive CD-ROM The X-Files Game. “That's about as complex as I could manage. It might take so much time for the [ball] to approach that I could duck out of the way swiftly before it reached to strike me in the face.”

Anderson’s likelihood of endurance: An even chance, considering the abstract character of Pong and whether getting struck by the pixel, or not hitting the ball back to the other player, would be deadly. Furthermore, it’s very gloomy in Pong — could she tumble from the stage to her end? What does the empty space of the game impact a individual?

The Filmmaker

Job: Joachim Rønning is the filmmaker of Tron: Ares. He also made Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The virtual world Joachim Rønning believes he could make it through: Tomb Raider. “I am a kid of the ’80s, so I was into the retro system and the console, but the first experience that captivated me was the original Tomb Raider on the system,” Rønning explains. “As a film enthusiast — it was the first game that was so engaging, it was interactive. I doubt that's the environment I would truly like to be in, but that was my first amazing adventure, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's likelihood of survival: 20%. If he was dropped into a Lara Croft world and had to face the wildlife and {booby traps
