- “Since time began, man has gazed at the stars and he has wondered... am I alone? Well it turns out that we've been looking in the wrong direction. Because intelligent life does exist. Only it's not out there. It's in here.”
- ―Julian Dillinger[src]
Julian Dillinger is the secondary antagonist of the 2025 Disney film Tron: Ares. He is the grandson of Ed Dillinger and the CEO of Dillinger Systems.[1][2]
Background[]
Julian Dillinger is a brilliant ambitious computer programmer who is singularly focused on pushing technology to the brink to establish his own legacy. The grandson of the late Edward Dillinger and the son of Edward's heir and successor, Elisabeth Dillinger, Julian has aspirations greater than those of his predecessors combined. Unfortunately, while his ambitions are great, his maturity is lacking. Given the job as CEO of Dillinger Systems by his mother, Julian embarks on an insane quest to achieve something great for the company, by following his grandfather's steps.[3]
Trivia[]
- The Tron: Ares casting call originally described Julian Dillinger as an "Indian man" but noted that such description could change. It can be obviously presumed it did with Evan Peters' casting.
