It was sad to know that Disney cancelled Tron 3 last year. The project was going to titled Tron: Ascension and director Joseph Kosinski was back to direct the film. Olivia Wilde and Garret Hedlund also signed to reprise their rles as Sam Flynn and Quora.
Producer Brigham Taylor, who recently developed The Rocketeers and The Jungle Book, is still hoping that the Tron 3 project will be revived. When Screenrant asked him about Tron 3, he said:
"I always hope for that. I just had a wonderful visit to Shanghai, where they have an amazing attraction based on Tron Legacy. The designers just did such an amazing job creating the feeling of stepping onto The Grid, and that indelible visual world that Lisberger created and Kosinski explored… and I think there's a real stickiness to that that I hope can grow into a film or whatever else. So I don't know what I'd ‘hint' at other than that I hope for that, and that there's obviously been conversations."
I could definitely see the potential of expanding the Tron franchise, but I could see how it would be challenging to create a compelling story that wouldn't ruin the virtual universe that the first two films developed. I would rather have them take their time to polish a solid script than rush into a half-assed sequel that could kill the franchise.
