Steven Lisberger's classic 1982 picture Tron primarily occurs within the fantastical world inside video games, where programs, portrayed as characters in illuminated costumes, compete on the Grid in lethal contests. Programs are mercilessly eliminated (or “erased”) in the Disc Arena and smashed by jetwalls in high-speed battles. The sequel director's 2010 continuation Tron: Legacy returns inside the digital realm for additional light-cycle action and further fighting on the Grid.

The new director's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares adopts a somewhat lesser game-like style. In the film, programs still fight each other for survival on the digital world, but mostly in critical conflicts over classified files, serving as avatars for their corporate creators. Defensive entities and hacking tools engage on digital networks, and in the outside world, Recognizers and light cycles transferred from the Grid function as they do in the virtual world.

The combat entity Ares (Jared Leto) is another recent development: a enhanced fighter who can be repeatedly 3D reprinted to engage in battles in the real world. But would the real-life star have the real-world abilities to endure if he was pulled into one of the Grid’s games? In a recent interview session, the cast and crew of Tron: Ares were questioned what virtual worlds they would be most likely to endure in. We have their answers — but we've also our own assessments about their skills to survive inside virtual worlds.

The Star

Character: In Tron: Ares, Lee plays Eve Kim, the CEO of the corporation, who is preoccupied from her executive duties as she attempts to retrieve the crucial information thought to be abandoned by Kevin Flynn (the star).

The game Lee believes she could survive in: “My kids are extremely into Minecraft,” she states. “I'd never want them to discover this, but [Minecraft] is so fantastic, the environments that they construct. I feel I would prefer to enter one of the realms that they've made. My little one has built this one with animals — it's just filled with feathered friends, because he adores parrots.”

Lee’s chances of endurance: A high percentage. If she simply resides with her kids’ parrots, she's all good. But it's unknown whether she understands how to avoid or deal with a Creeper.

The Actor

Part: Evan Peters plays the antagonist, the head of competing company the organization and relative of Ed Dillinger (the actor) from the initial Tron.

The digital environment Evan Peters feels he could endure in: “I certainly would absolutely lose in the [Disc Arena],” he stated. “I might go into BioShock.” Explaining that response to fellow actor the actress, he says, “It is such a good game, it’s the best. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, remarkable dystopian environments in the franchise, and the title is an underground, dilapidated society.” Did he understand the inquiry? Unclear.

Evan Peters' chances of survival: In BioShock? A low chance, like any other regular individual's chances in the location. In any of the Fallout series? Ten percent, only based on his charisma score.

Gillian Anderson

Character: the actress plays Elisabeth Dillinger, mother to the son and child to the original character. She’s the previous leader of the corporation, and a more calm executive than the character.

The game the actress believes she could survive in: “Pong,” said Anderson, regardless of her obvious knowledge with the game Myst and her featured role in the 1998 participatory digital disc The X-Files Game. “That's as complex as I could handle. It might take so a while for the [ball] to come that I could move out of the way quickly before it reached to hit me in the face.”

Anderson’s probability of success: 50%, based on the abstract essence of the title and whether getting struck by the ball, or not volleying the object back to the other player, would be deadly. Furthermore, it’s very gloomy in Pong — could she fall off the arena to her demise? What does the black void of the title affect a individual?

The Director

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

The virtual world the director believes he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I was a child of the ’80s, so I was fond of the retro system and the console, but the original experience that got to me was the very first Tomb Raider on the console,” he states. “Since I'm a cinema buff — it was the original title that was so engaging, it was tactile. I'm uncertain that's the environment I would truly desire to be in, but that was my first incredible journey, at least.”

The director's chances of success: 20%. If he was placed into a Tomb Raider title and had to face the creatures and {booby traps
