Jared Leto is all set to make waves by playing the villain in Tron: Ares but what caught everyone’s eyes was the suit and he is too excited about it.
In a chat with PEOPLE, the Morbius star shared his reaction to the suit after it was unveiled at the D23 event on Friday, Aug. 9.
"Putting on the suit was a big deal for me,” he noted. "And they built an amazing suit."
The Marvel star continued, "I think I probably could have used the suit in the real world in certain circumstances, like wearing a piece of armor head to toe."
Adding, "It's about 45 pounds, but still flexible. But when you put it on, you feel like a warrior — and Ares, like the name, is indeed a warrior."
Elsewhere in the interview, Jared said he was for a long time a fan of the sci-fi franchise explaining,"I mean, I must have seen the first Tron a couple dozen times growing [up]."
"I loved — I still love — Tron. It was a pleasure when I was researching and kind of developing the character to visit the first film and the second film multiple times, and that was really fun for me as a kid."
