Arguably the most underutilized franchise in sci-fi cinema history looks like it might finally get another installment.
It took Disney 26 years to realize the potential with"Tron," and many opportunities have been missed along the way.
After years of floundering in"development hell," it looks like the most underutilized franchise in sci-fi cinema history might get another installment. ,"Tron 3" is finally moving forward at Disney, with frequent Disney collaborator Joachim Rønning in talks to direct. Jared Leto, who has championed the project since 2017, is set to star in the movie, which will be a direct sequel to 2010's"Tron: Legacy." The project, which currently has the title of"Tron: Ares," is based on a script from Jesse Wigutow.Despite some spectacular set pieces,"Tron: Legacy'" failed to live up to the potential available.
Leto, of course, we're all familiar with; he has delivered stellar performances in films such as"Lord of War,""" and most recently"WeCrashed." Rønning's biggest feature to date is"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," while Wigutow is a relative unknown, certainly within the sci-fi genre.

That said, in a freak-like occurrence, 1982 turned out to be a monumental 12 months for sci-fi, featuring release of"Blade Runner,""The Thing,""E.T.
