The creator's classic 1982 picture Tron largely unfolds within the virtual universe inside digital games, where software entities, depicted as people in illuminated costumes, compete on the Grid in lethal games. These entities are mercilessly eliminated (or “deleted”) in the Battlefield and smashed by jetwalls in digital vehicle conflicts. The sequel director's 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy ventures inside the virtual domain for further vehicle combat and additional combat on the digital plane.

Joachim Rønning's Legacy follow-up Tron: Ares employs a somewhat lesser interactive method. In the picture, digital entities still fight each other for endurance on the digital world, but mostly in high-stakes conflicts over classified data, acting as agents for their business makers. Defensive entities and hacking tools engage on digital networks, and in the physical world, flying machines and light cycles exported from the Grid behave as they do in the digital environment.

The soldier software Ares (the actor) is an additional new innovation: a super-soldier who can be repeatedly replicated to fight wars in our world. But would the real-life Leto have the real-world talents to survive if he was pulled into one of the digital arena's contests? In a recent media gathering, stars and directors of Tron: Ares were asked what games they would be most apt to endure in. Here are their replies — but we've also our own assessments about their abilities to survive inside simulated environments.

Greta Lee

Role: In Tron: Ares, Greta Lee embodies the executive, the leader of the company, who is diverted from her executive duties as she tries to locate the key data believed to be remaining by Kevin Flynn (the actor).

The virtual world Greta Lee feels she could make it through: “My little ones are really into Minecraft,” she explains. “I wouldn't want them to discover this, but [Minecraft] is so fantastic, the realms that they build. I believe I would like to enter one of the realms that they've built. My youngest has designed this one with beasts — it's just stocked with feathered friends, because he is fond of parrots.”

The actress's chances of survival: A high percentage. If Greta Lee simply stays with her kids’ parrots, she's safe. But it's unknown whether she knows how to steer clear of or deal with a Creeper.

Evan Peters

Character: the actor plays 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 make it through: “I certainly would definitely be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” Peters said. “I'd go into BioShock.” Elaborating on that answer to co-star Gillian Anderson, he says, “It's such a good digital experience, it’s the best. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, amazing post-apocalyptic environments in the series, and the title is an hidden, run-down nightmare.” Was he understand the question? Uncertain.

Evan Peters' likelihood of success: In BioShock? 5%, like any other average person's chances in the city. In any of the post-apocalyptic title? 10%, solely based on his charm rating.

Gillian Anderson

Part: Anderson embodies the matriarch, mother to the son and offspring to Ed. She’s the former leader of the corporation, and a increasingly rational executive than her son.

The game the actress feels she could make it through: “Pong,” remarked Anderson, in spite of her obvious experience with the title Myst and her co-starring appearance in the 1998 participatory CD-ROM The X-Files Game. “That's as sophisticated as I could get. It'd take so a while for the [ball] to approach that I could dodge out of the way promptly before it came to collide with me in the face.”

The actress's chances of survival: Fifty percent, depending on the basic character of the title and whether being hit by the ball, or not returning the pixel back to the other player, would be deadly. Furthermore, it’s extremely gloomy in Pong — could she fall off the platform to her demise? What does the black void of the game impact a individual?

The Filmmaker

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

The virtual world Joachim Rønning feels he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I was a kid of the ’80s, so I was into the home computer and the Atari, but the initial game that got to me was the very first Tomb Raider on PlayStation,” he says. “Since I'm a movie guy — it was the initial title that was so captivating, it was interactive. I'm not sure that's the game I would actually like to be in, but that was my initial amazing adventure, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's chances of success: 20%. If he was placed into a Lara Croft title and had to contend with the wildlife and {booby traps
