MrBeast is in a new Tron: Ares ad, and fans aren’t happy.
Featured VideoTron: Ares has been making headlines ahead of its theatrical release. It’s the first Tron movie in 15 years, which has people intrigued, and the film’s Nine Inch Nails soundtrack has been a huge source of excitement.
However, there are things about the Disney film that are making people skeptical. Many fans are not thrilled that Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto. The actor’s behavior in recent years has made him lesspopular.
Now, fans are upset by the presence of MrBeast in a new promo.
AdvertisementA big issue with the Tron: Ares ad featuring MrBeast is that it has people confused. Many moviegoers now think the YouTuber is in the film, which does not seem to be the case. It appears he is only promoting the project, a la Ice Cube and Minecraft.
What are people saying about the MrBeast/Tron ad?
However, it’s understandable that people would assume MrBeast is getting a Tron cameo. His involvement in film and television is not exactly unprecedented. In 2019, he lent his voice to an episode of Love, Death, and Robots, which was also met with hostility. He also cameoed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Kung Fu Panda 4.

“Are they trying to get as many people to not see this movie as possible? Because it’s working. Thanks, Disney. Waited 15 years for a sequel to my favorite movie ever just to get MrBeast promo…,” a fan account tweeted.
“I waited 15 years for a Tron Legacy follow-up just for it to be set up as the biggest piece of [expletive] conceived by man,” one Tron fan lamented.
“They are BEGGING us not to see this thing,” another person posted.
“Despite my concern about casting Leto, I was actually considering lifting my Disney boycott to see this. Not anymore,” one person commented on the video.

Meanwhile, some people are just having fun with the whole thing.
