The creator's iconic 1982 movie Tron mostly occurs within the virtual universe inside electronic games, where programs, depicted as people in neon-streaked outfits, face off on the virtual landscape in deadly challenges. The characters are ruthlessly eliminated (or “derezzed”) in the Disc Arena and smashed by force fields in light-cycle conflicts. The filmmaker's 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy ventures inside the digital realm for more vehicle combat and more conflict on the digital plane.

The new director's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares takes a marginally lesser video game-y style. In the picture, virtual characters still clash each other for endurance on the digital world, but mainly in life-or-death struggles over classified files, functioning as agents for their corporate makers. Protection software and infiltration programs confront on digital networks, and in the physical world, Recognizers and digital motorcycles brought from the Grid operate as they do in the virtual world.

The soldier software the main character (the actor) is another recent development: a advanced warrior who can be infinitely replicated to fight wars in our world. But would the real-life Leto have the practical skills to survive if he was pulled into one of the virtual world's games? In a latest press event, actors and filmmakers of Tron: Ares were asked what digital environments they would be most apt to endure in. Below are their responses — but we also offer our own judgments about their capabilities to endure inside virtual worlds.

The Star

Part: In Tron: Ares, the actress embodies Eve Kim, the chief executive of ENCOM, who is distracted from her executive duties as she attempts to recover the “permanence code” assumed to be abandoned by Kevin Flynn (the star).

The game Greta Lee believes she could make it through: “My little ones are really into Minecraft,” she states. “I'd never want them to discover this, but [Minecraft] is so fantastic, the environments that they build. I think I would like to explore one of the worlds that they've built. My younger child has designed this one with beasts — it's just packed with birds, because he is fond of parrots.”

Greta Lee's chances of success: Ninety percent. If Lee simply stays with her children's parrots, she's secure. But it's unclear whether she understands how to avoid or contend with a dangerous creature.

The Star

Role: the actor plays the antagonist, the chief of ENCOM rival the business and relative of Ed Dillinger (the actor) from the first Tron.

The game the actor thinks he could make it through: “I certainly would definitely lose in the [Disc Arena],” Peters remarked. “I'd go into BioShock.” Elaborating on that reply to co-star the star, he states, “It is such a great game, it’s the top. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, amazing post-apocalyptic worlds in Fallout, and BioShock is an subterranean, dilapidated dystopia.” Did he even understand the question? Unknown.

Evan Peters' likelihood of endurance: In BioShock? Five percent, similar to any other normal human's odds in the location. In each post-apocalyptic game? Ten percent, only based on his charm score.

Gillian Anderson

Character: the actress plays the matriarch, mother to Julian and daughter to Ed. She’s the former chief executive of the corporation, and a increasingly calm leader than her son.

The game Anderson feels she could survive in: “Pong,” remarked Gillian Anderson, despite her evident experience with the title Myst and her featured role in the 1998's choose-your-own-adventure digital disc The X-Files Game. “That's as sophisticated as I could handle. It'd take so a while for the [ball] to approach that I could duck out of the way promptly before it reached to collide with me in the face.”

The actress's likelihood of success: Fifty percent, depending on the abstract character of Pong and whether being hit by the ball, or not returning the object back to the other player, would be deadly. Also, it’s extremely dark in Pong — could she slip off the arena to her death? What does the dark abyss of the game impact a person?

The Filmmaker

Position: Rønning is the filmmaker of Tron: Ares. He also made Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The game Joachim Rønning believes he could make it through: Tomb Raider. “I'm a kid of the ’80s, so I was into the home computer and the gaming device, but the initial title that influenced me was the first ever Tomb Raider on the system,” he says. “Being a movie guy — it was the initial game that was so engaging, it was physical. I'm not sure that's the game I would truly desire to be in, but that was my initial incredible journey, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's chances of endurance: Twenty percent. If Joachim Rønning was transported into a Lara Croft game and had to face the creatures and {booby traps
