Quick Links The road to a third film in the Tron series has been rocky at best and turbulent at worst. It's a franchise that has always had something of a complicated relationship with the Walt Disney Company. Neither the original Tron nor its sequel Tron: Legacy were exactly box office smash hits, yet both of them earned a reputation of being cult classics with their devoutly dedicated followings.
Despite years in development hell, Tron: Ares is still in the very early stages of production, but there's still quite a bit of information we've learned. To find out exactly what that info is, here is everything we know so far about Tron: Ares.
Who Is Starring in 'Tron: Ares'? Close Jared Leto, despite winning an Oscar for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club, hasn't had the greatest luck when it comes to blockbusters, particularly superhero films. His roles in both Suicide Squad and Morbius weren't very warmly received, but hopefully, his role in Tron: Ares will pivot that reputation.
What Is the Story of 'Tron' So Far, and Why Has a Sequel Taken So Long? The very long and complicated history of the computer-based science-fiction series began in 1982, with the release of the first film, simply titled Tron. Upon releasing in theaters, audiences were introduced to Kevin Flynn - a brilliant young hacker and former employee of a major tech company called ENCOM.
Turns out fans would have to wait quite a while to find out, as Tron: Legacy wasn't the hit that Disney was expecting. Although about 300 million dollars and profit doesn't sound like a bad payday, most of that comes from the international box office as the film just barely broke even domestically. Add in the absolutely massive marketing push the film had and the numbers for what was supposed to kickstart a blossoming franchise just didn't add up for Disney.
The absolute best moments of my career have been watching an actor perform in front of the camera – taking the scene and the text to a higher place. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with amazing talent. It’s a huge part of why I’m a filmmaker. However, like myself, being an actor or a writer, means you’re a freelancer. And I can tell you, the constant uncertainty is not for everyone. To that end I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a better safety net.
