TRON 3 Moving Forward at Disney With Jared Leto Set to Star

The "Tron" franchise is being resurrected by Disney. While deals aren't complete yet, the studio is in advanced negotiations with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" helmer Joachim Rønning to direct a new installment in the series, which is currently titled "Tron: Ares".

Jared Leto is also set to star in the movie, which will be a direct sequel to 2010's "Tron: Legacy". Leto, who has been attached to a "Tron" reboot since 2017, will also produce alongside Justin Springer, Jeffrey Silver, and Emma Ludbrook, with Sean Bailey and Sam Dickerman on board as executive producers. Principal shooting will begin this summer in Vancouver.

The "Tron: Ares" script is written by Jesse Wigutow ("It Runs in the Family"). The film's crew is currently being assembled.

Rønning recently finished work on Disney's biopic "Young Woman and the Sea", which stars Daisy Ridley as Gertrude Ederle, a New York teen who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.

Leto is also set to star in Disney's "Haunted Mansion".

TRON 3 Canceled By Disney

Although we first heard in March that Disney is moving forward with the long-delayed "Tron 3", it seems that the studio is now ready to give up on the project entirely. The news surged throughout the Internet with many publications reporting that the sequel is no longer in production. Furthermore, it seems that Disney never actually green-lit the project, in the first place.

"Tron: Legacy" director Joseph Kosinski was expected to return at the helm, and stars Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were set to reprise their roles. Reports about the cancellation also mention the fact that Jared Leto was in the running to star in an undisclosed role. Leto is now playing The Joker in David Ayer's "Suicide Squad".

Although it's probably heartbreaking news for the fans, the truth is that "Tron: Legacy" was not a huge breakthrough at the box-office and Disney does have some bad experience with costly blockbusters that flopped, for example "John Carter" and "Tomorrowland".

Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde Return for TRON 3

It's been five years since Disney's "TRON: Legacy" hit theaters, five years without any concrete plans for a sequel despite several attempts to push it forward. Now it seems that things are looking up for the project. Director Joseph Kosinski will return to helm the film, while THR is reporting that Legacy stars Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde will reprise the roles of Sam Flynn and the digital entity Quorra, respectively, for the sequel which is supposedly titled "Tron: Ascension". The title possibly refers to some rumors which suggest that the sequel's plot will involve entities leaving the digital world known as the Grid and stepping into our realm, like Quorra did at the end of Legacy. Filming is expected to begin this fall in Vancouver.
