Disney has almost used IA as a character in tron: Ares

The next Disney science fiction sequel Tron: Ares It almost spies stronger in its futuristic themes literally using artificial intelligence as a character in the film.

According to a recent report of the Wall Street Journal, at the beginning of Disney development he explored the idea of using generative artificial intelligence to feed an animated character named Bit.

This helper led by integrity would have interacted in real time Jeff Bridgesthat returns to the franchise. The concept was that a writer would provide information on artificial intelligence during the scenes and the character, expressed by an actor, would have generated a dialogue on the spot in response to Bridges’ character.

The experiment was rooted in the plot of the film, which focuses on a soldier who crossed the real world. The managers thought it would be suitable for reflecting that theme within the cinema itself.

However, that crazy idea did not exceed the planning phase. At the time, Disney was profound in negotiations with the writers and actors of the Hollywood unions. With high tensions and sector discussions on artificial intelligence that already arouse a heated debate, Disney has opted to abandon the plan to avoid arousing further disputes.

As the report said, the managers were warned internally not to risk “bad advertising” around the concept of AI. I think it may have been a little interesting and interesting, though.

The film is directed by Joachim Rønningknown for Maleficent: Master of Evil, Young woman and seaAND Pirates of the Caribbean: dead men tell no storytelling. The script comes from Jesse Wigutow.

Tron: Ares It is intended to hit the cinemas on 10 October 2025 and presents a stacked cast including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, Jeff BridgesAND Sarah Desjardins.

As a third official episode in Tron Franchising following Tron (1982) e Tron: Legacy (2010), Tron: Ares It is preparing to continue the legacy of the series to explore the edge in which technology meets humanity.
