The Los Angeles premiere of Tron: Ares blurred the boundary between cinema and science fiction as Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, joined Jared Leto on the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre on 6 October 2025.
While Hollywood's A-list turned out for Disney's futuristic sequel, it was Optimus, the sleek, bipedal robot developed by Elon Musk's Tesla, that captured headlines worldwide. The spectacle wasn't just a publicity stunt; it symbolised how artificial intelligence and robotics are crossing from the lab into the limelight.
