Tron 3 rumors are being confirmed by none other than actor Jared Leto. Here’s everything we know so far about the Disney movie sequel.
Tron 3 + Jared Leto
In 2010, Disney produced Tron: Legacy, which modernized the original story from the 1980’s film.
Even though it had been through extensive planning and pre-production, in May of 2015, Disney nixed Tron 3 from the expected trilogy.
According to reports, Jared Leto has been tapped to star in Disney’s Tron franchise reboot.
This is very exciting news for Tron fans worldwide, as the franchise has grown a bit of a cult following over the decades.
People and blogs on Twitter are certainly very excited about it!
Plus, the original Disney Tron: Legacy reboot received solid praise from fans, garnering a nearly 7/10 score on IMDb after more than 300,000 ratings.
With this in mind, it makes sense that the actor would have some thoughts about the movie’s progress and ideas about how to make it succeed going forward.
Here’s what Jared Leto said about Tron 3 in a discussion with Collider:
It was a huge movie for me as well and I do think there’s so much potential in that world, there’s so much left to be said. I’m absolutely game to try to help in any way that I can bring that to life. It’s something that we’re in discussions about and very much looking forward to bringing to reality. It’s very early days though.

Additionally, we have some hope of the third movie from the director of Tron: Legacy, Joseph Kosinski.
There’s no confirmed director for the third film, but he did have some encouraging words for the movie.
Kosinksi said to Collider, “I guess I can say that Tron 3 is in cryogenic freeze. So, it’s there. […] It’s alive, but it’s sitting there, waiting for the right time to move forward.”
