Greta Lee Muscles Up for Blockbuster Sci-Fi Thriller 'Tron: Ares'

Greta Lee, the acclaimed actress known for her powerful performances in films like 'Past Lives' and TV shows such as 'Russian Doll' and 'The Morning Show', is now set to star in the highly anticipated sci-fi action film 'Tron: Ares', scheduled for release in 2025. This marks a significant departure from Lee's previous acting ventures, as the new role demanded a much more physically demanding skillset.

In a recent interview, Lee opened up about the intensive training regimen she undertook to prepare for the blockbuster film. Recognizing that she was not quite in "Tom Cruise shape" for the action-heavy role, Lee enlisted the help of a Marvel superhero trainer provided by Disney. The actress also consulted with Brie Larson, who had undergone a similar transformation for her role in 'Captain Marvel', to get advice and guidance on getting into top physical condition.

The training paid off, as Lee was able to execute a range of stunts and even learn how to ride a motorcycle for the film's high-octane sequences. While the majority of the film required Lee to wear a biker suit, which concealed her newly toned physique, the actress still wishes there had been a scene showcasing her hard-earned abs. Nonetheless, her dedication and commitment to the role have undoubtedly elevated her performance in 'Tron: Ares', which is sure to captivate audiences when it hits theaters next year.
