If I were to tell you there were at least four Academy Award winners in the Tron: Ares cast, you’d probably go mad trying to figure out the third and fourth names after quickly naming Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges. It’s not Greta Lee or Jodie Turner-Smith, though both had Oscar-worthy performances in the past. And it’s not Evan Peters or Gillian Anderson. Instead, it’s Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the core members of Nine Inch Nails, who have a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo in the 2025 movie.
Reznor and Ross, who won Oscars for their work on The Social Network and Soul, provided the synth-heavy score for Tron: Ares, creating one of the best things about the movie. However, I had no idea that one of the most influential American rock bands of all time appeared in the movie until well into the end credits.
