After reading some more about Jared Leto and his sexual harassment allegations my hype has plummeted, but it was already on shaky ground because I'm not too into the premise of Tron taking place in the real world.

Reviews are not solid. They are coming out today and seems like it could be at best considered mediocre.

I can't take Leto seriously as a hero. Maybe as a evil skeleton man (he's playing Skellator in the new MotU movie) but not as a hero.

This.

It looks cool. Like, visually. Actual story stuff sound dumb, but who cares. The story of Tron has always been dumb. It looks so stinkin' cool you gotta love it anyway.

They wrapped filming over a year before those allegations came to light. The post production was nearly done. There's no fixing it at that point. They'd have to shelve the movie. That's a 100% loss. Even if it bombs they'll recoup something.

He was not the main character of that movie. There are probably few scenes in Ares which don't include Leto.

That's a bad example anyway because it never looked right. You could absolutely tell Tig Notaro filmed separately from the rest of the cast.

Filming wrapped up June 2025 so by then all his scenes were filmed and replacing the main villain after the fact would be way too expensive and not look good at all. Like I said at least he's the villain like in real life.

We have four years of technology advancement and youd think the whole conceit of the Tron world would make it a lot easier to replace a character, no? I read that Letos character is an AI or some shit?

That's the only real draw to seeing it in theaters. Especially since I have AMC+ or whatever. No real reason not to see the big shiny for free.

I feel like getting Jared Leto to be the main lead in a movie after his embarrassing performance in Suicide Squad should be grounds for getting you demoted or something, even disregarding his weird cult.

The only way I'd go see it is, since Ares is supposedly a 'replaceable' soldier, if he gets killed over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

He came on as a producer for the movie in 2016 and played a major part in getting the project started again after it was initially canceled when it was titled Tron: Ascension. Not defending him being in it, just providing that background.

I'm sure if the recent allegations were known about a couple years ago, they would have either recast or cancelled the movie. They've spent $150M on this thing now, and they have to make the best of it. Maybe they could spend another $50M and delay the movie for a year, just to remove Leto. Realistically, is that going to make the movie that much more successful? This is Tron we are talking about. It isn't a billion dollar franchise. They frankly already spent too much.
