On Wednesday evening, Disney Studios transformed the Piccadilly Lights into the electrifying world of TRON: Ares, staging the first-ever rooftop red carpet above the iconic Lights. 

Standing above the London landmark, Jared unveiled exclusive 3D TRON: Ares content live on the giant screens as crowds gathered below to watch. 

The Morbius actor was joined on the rooftop by director Joachim Rønning and cast members Greta Lee, Jodie, Evan and Gillian, creating a truly historic moment.

Guests arriving for the UK Sneak Peek screening event were immersed in a pulse-pounding digital frontier as the legendary central London location was reimagined with cutting-edge lighting design and futuristic set pieces. 

With a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack filling the space, visitors entered through an LED-lit corridor of shifting lights before stepping into the grid for a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity with the iconic Lightcycle.

Press and content creators were treated to an exclusive preview of footage from the newest chapter of the TRON saga, personally introduced by the director and main caste members. 

Following the unveiling by the cast, the TRON: Ares Immersive Experience will open to the public for one day only on Thursday 2 October.

Elsewhere, Gillian will also star in in Marianne Elliot’s big-screen adaptation of Raynor Winn’s 2018 memoir, The Salt Path.

Gillian’s latest role in The Salt Path sees her playing Raynor Winn opposite Jason as her husband Moth, in the real-life story of the couple who became homeless after a business deal with a friend went wrong.

After Moth was then diagnosed with a rare and incurable degenerative brain disease, the couple decided to make a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline armed with only a tent and limited supplies.

In response to one scene in the film that sees Gillian and Isaac’s characters get intimate inside their small tent, The Sunday Times probed the X-Files star on whether she would recommend the location for an amorous encounter.

A grinning Gillian affirmed: ‘Well, sex in the back of a car, sex anywhere, I mean, yeah, why not? Uncomfortable, tight quarters, but needs must.’ 

The Scoop actress also admitted that she doesn’t feel any shame in discussing sex and even released a book about women’s sexual fantasies in September.

She explained that it was through doing Sex Education, filming scenes speaking openly about topics like sexual pleasure, genitalia and sexual orientation, that she first realised how comfortable she felt and how vital the conversations were.

She said: ‘In playing Jean, having [sex] become a regular topic, I realised that I didn’t have shame around it. 

‘Also, I suddenly realised the degree to which there still was so much shame around it and the degree to which the show helped many demographics blast through some of that.’
