The original director's groundbreaking 1982 film Tron largely unfolds within the imaginary world inside electronic games, where software entities, envisioned as human-like figures in glowing outfits, face off on the Grid in lethal games. These entities are brutally destroyed (or “derezzed”) in the Combat Zone and crushed by force fields in light-cycle showdowns. Joseph Kosinski's 2010 follow-up Tron: Legacy goes back inside the digital realm for more vehicle combat and more fighting on the virtual world.

The filmmaker's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares takes a marginally less interactive approach. In the film, programs still clash each other for existence on the virtual arena, but mainly in life-or-death struggles over secretive information, functioning as agents for their business makers. Security programs and infiltration programs clash on corporate systems, and in the outside world, flying machines and digital motorcycles transferred from the Grid behave as they do in the digital environment.

The warrior program the main character (Jared Leto) is an additional recent development: a advanced warrior who can be repeatedly manufactured to participate in conflicts in the real world. But would the real-life star have the actual talents to endure if he was pulled into one of the virtual world's contests? In a current media gathering, stars and directors of Tron: Ares were inquired what virtual worlds they would be most likely to make it through. Here are their responses — but we also offer our own evaluations about their skills to endure inside simulated environments.

Greta Lee

Character: In Tron: Ares, the actress embodies the executive, the leader of ENCOM, who is diverted from her leadership tasks as she tries to retrieve the crucial information thought to be left behind by the founder (the actor).

The game Greta Lee thinks she could make it through: “My kids are very into Minecraft,” she states. “I would never want them to realize this, but [Minecraft] is so fantastic, the environments that they build. I feel I would want to enter one of the environments that they've made. My little one has built this one with creatures — it's just packed with feathered friends, because he is fond of parrots.”

The actress's likelihood of success: 90%. If she simply hangs out with her kids’ parrots, she's secure. But it's uncertain whether she is aware of how to steer clear of or handle a dangerous creature.

The Actor

Character: Peters embodies Julian Dillinger, the leader of opposing corporation the organization and grandson of the original character (David Warner) from the original Tron.

The game the actor thinks he could survive in: “I'd definitely lose in the [Disc Arena],” Evan Peters stated. “I might go into BioShock.” Elaborating on that response to colleague the actress, he states, “It's such a great game, it’s the finest. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, incredible dystopian worlds in the franchise, and BioShock is an hidden, dilapidated society.” Did he even grasp the query? Uncertain.

Peters’ likelihood of survival: In BioShock? A low chance, comparable to any other normal human's likelihood in Rapture. In any Fallout series? Ten percent, purely based on his appeal score.

The Actress

Character: Anderson portrays the matriarch, mother to the character and child to Ed. She’s the former chief executive of the company, and a increasingly level-headed leader than her son.

The digital environment Anderson thinks she could endure in: “Pong,” said Gillian Anderson, regardless of her evident familiarity with the game Myst and her featured role in the 1998 choose-your-own-adventure software The X-Files Game. “That is as sophisticated as I could get. It would take so long for the [ball] to come that I could dodge out of the way swiftly before it arrived to collide with me in the head.”

The actress's probability of endurance: Fifty percent, considering the simple nature of Pong and whether getting struck by the pixel, or not returning the pixel back to the other player, would be lethal. Additionally, it’s extremely dark in Pong — could she tumble from the arena to her demise? What does the black void of the game do to a individual?

Joachim Rønning

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

The game Rønning thinks he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I am a kid of the ’80s, so I was into the Commodore 64 and the gaming device, but the initial game that got to me was the very first Tomb Raider on PlayStation,” Rønning explains. “Being a movie guy — it was the original experience that was so immersive, it was interactive. I'm not sure that's the environment I would actually want to be in, but that was my first amazing adventure, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's likelihood of success: Twenty percent. If Rønning was transported into a adventure world and had to contend with the wildlife and {booby traps
