Disney/Leah Gallo
Tron: Ares, starring Jared Leto and Greta Lee, is new in theaters. What else has Lee — who stars in the lead role of Eve Kim opposite Leto’s Ares — starred in?
Rated PG-13, Tron: Ares opened in theaters on Friday. The logline for the third film in the TRON franchise reads, “TRON: Ares follows a highly sophisticated program, Ares (Leto), who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.”
In the film, Eve and Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters) run competing artificial intelligence corporations that are both trying to convert their digital constructs into permanent items in the real world. Eve and Julian’s goals are completely different, though, as Eve wants to create resources to help save humanity, while Julian seeks to create military grade weaponry and super soldiers, beginning with Ares.
Born March 7, 1983, in Los Angeles, Lee’s screen debut came in a guest role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2006. Since then, Lee has appeared in several guest roles in such TV series as Royal Pains, Nurse Jackie, Broad City, The Good Fight, What We Do in the Shadows and The Twilight Zone.
Lee has also appeared in several recurring roles on TV, including Soojin on Girls for four episodes from 2013 to 2014 and Kai on New Girl for five episodes from 2014 to 2015. Lee was also a recurring cast member on nine episodes of Inside Amy Schumer from 2013 to 2016.
