Its been 15 years since Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and Quorra (Olivia Wilde) escaped from the Grid in Tron: Legacy. A third Tron film was in development that would have continued Sam and Quorras story, but it was ultimately canceled. According to director Joseph Kosinski, that movie would have featured the real world facing an invasion from the Grid. Some of that plot has been retained for the upcoming film, Tron: Ares, and thats readily apparent in the new trailer that features lightcycles wrecking havoc in our world.

More alarmingly, a Recognizer a digital warship from both of the previous Tron movies has also crossed over to the real world. The way it plays in the trailer is like more a serious version of the movie Pixels, except the Recognizer dwarfs everything around it. And it doesnt appear that conventional weaponry is having any effect on it.

Ares is a standalone sequel that doesnt directly callback to the events of Legacy. Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) also appears to be completely absent from this story. However, the voice of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) the hero of the first film and Sam Flynns father can be heard in the trailer telling someone that theres no going back. He may be speaking to Ares (Jared Leto), the title character of the film who has traveled to the real world on a mission of his own. If Flynns words can be taken literally, it may be a one-way trip for Ares. But hes clearly not the only one who crossed over.

Related Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Desjardins, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson round out the cast of the film. Joachim Rnning directed the movie from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne (Adolescence). Nine Inch Nails will provide the score.

Tron: Ares will hit theaters on October 10.
