Rife with political intrigue, danger, tension, and high stakes, Andor is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction: The Death Star, setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. Andor sets the clock back five years from the events of Rogue One to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.
Andor Season 2 will see the characters and their relationships intensify as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound.

Tron: Ares is a follow-up to Disney’s 1982 seminal science fiction film, Tron, and the 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy.
From director Joachim Rønning, the film’s story follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.
Roughly 90% of the shots in Tron: Ares required visual effects, and thus ILM’s work on the film was wide-ranging, including significant contributions to both the ENCOM and Dillinger Grids, as well as to the retro-style Flynn Grid. Additionally, ILM was responsible for the seamless integration of Grid-based vehicles and characters into the real world. Principal photography was centered in Vancouver, where ILM’s team already based in the city was able to advise on the capturing of live action plates and related elements. The depiction of Light Cycles and Recognizers in the human realm required a new approach to the appearance and movement of the vehicles. Within the Grid environments, ILM pushed the classic Tron aesthetic to realize captivating and dynamic imagery.
Led by ILM’s own David Seager as production visual effects supervisor, ILM’s visual effects work was hubbed in both Vancouver and Sydney, with additional contributions from the Mumbai studio and various partner companies.
ILM’s visual effects in Tron: Ares won Best Visual Effects or Animation at the 2026 AACTA Awards and was nominated for Outstanding Environment in a Photoreal Feature and Outstanding CG Cinematography at the VES Awards in the same year.
Tron: Ares is now available to watch on Disney+.

Superman, DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, soared into theaters in the summer of 2025 from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, director James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
ILM’s work on Superman included the creation of the city Metropolis as well as digital counterparts for the Hammer of Boravia and Ultraman. The team also built a digital double for the film’s namesake, with extensive animation and simulation work required to make Superman fly at great speed. The epic interdimensional rift later required ILM to depict multiple layers of destruction across Metropolis. And among ILM’s creature work on the show is the animation of the memorable Krypto the Superdog in the film’s climactic battle sequence.
Led by ILM visual effects supervisor Enrico Damm in collaboration with production visual effects supervisor Stephane Ceretti and visual effects producer Susan Pickett, ILM’s visual effects work was hubbed in San Francisco with additional contributions from the Sydney and Mumbai studios.
ILM’s visual effects in Superman received nominations for Best Visual Effects at the Critics Choice Awards and the Astra Film & Creative Arts Awards, as well as Best Visual Effects or Animation at the AACTA Awards, Outstanding Effects Simulations in a Photoreal Feature and Outstanding Compositing & Lighting in a Feature at the VES Awards, and Best Visual/Special Effects at the Saturn Awards in 2026.
Superman is now available to watch on HBO Max.
