Will There Be a Tron 3 Movie?

Tron 3

Originally released back in 1982, Steven Lisberger’s Tron was a critically acclaimed, visually impressive sci-fi pic that blended virtual reality, video games, and AI into a beloved action-adventure starring the award-winning acting chops of a young, up-and-coming Jeff Bridges. A follow-up directed by Joseph Kosinski, dubbed Tron: Legacy, arrived in 2010, receiving a decent critical reception, before going on to become a financial success reaping in a global box office of $400.1 million.

I’m a super fan of Tron, and we are working hard on Tron with our incredible partners at Disney. Just an amazing group of creative people. We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer and closer, and who knows? Something may be [coming] sooner than later.

So, there you have it. A Tron 3 sequel is absolutely on the cards, and it looks like more official information will be coming soon direct from Disney.
