Tron 3 Not Dead?
Tron: Legacy was thought to be the gateway to a new slate of Tron films, and the movie was successful financially. Yet a third Tron film didn’t happen. That is, until a wildfire of news revealed that Tron 3 was happening, and would feature much of the cast from Legacy. Sadly, it was apparently killed by Disney not much later after that wildfire started. However, Tron Legacy Star Garrett Hedlund said during a press event for his new movie Pan that Tron 3 might not be as dead as we thought.
“I haven’t been told it’s totally dead,” Hedlund said of Tron 3. “Ever since we did Legacy, we knew that to have another story follow it up, it had to be concrete and exciting. Disney needed to have the right story to go forward. I think it was going to introduce some things that were as exciting as Legacy was and then some, though,” he said about the early story treatments.
“Who knows, maybe it’ll be like Legacy was to the first Tron, it’ll be 30 years, and I’ll have my young Flynn CGI face, who knows?” he said with a laugh. “But they could do it anytime from now, and I would of course jump back in. Something like that could be quite fun, though!”
