If you were a fan of Tron: Legacy, then you know that the follow up, Tron 3, has been in Hollywood limbo ever since Disney announced it's release date. That date has been scrubbed, as have the plans for the film. But could there still be hope? Garrett Hedlund has been making the rounds to promote his upcoming movie, Pan, where he plays a young Captain Hook. It was just a matter of time before he was asked when Tron 3 was going to happen, if ever. Here's what he had to say about it's possible future:
"Ever since Legacy they’ve been conjuring up where this world could go and what the future holds for Tron, and they were finessing a story and just making sure the next one has the right story. As far as I know everyone is in a mutual feeling that this one will blow Legacy out of the water. New characters, new vehicles, a whole new idea in the grand scheme of things. But who knows? Nobody has said it’s done for sure. And maybe 30 years from now I’ll be in Jeff [Bridges]’ position because the gap between 1982 and 2009. Any time between now and then it could happen."
First of all, I truly hope that it doesn't take another 30 years for the next installment to be made, I actually liked Tron: Legacy. Also, he doesn't directly say that Jeff Bridges or Olivia Wilde are still interested in being in it. It had been reported earlier that Wilde was on board for the follow up to the 2010 movie, but since it's been shelved, there hasn't been any word if she'll return or not. The fact that Hedlund is as excited about the script as he is makes me hope that it actually takes place. It seems to reason that Disney is waiting for the release of Pan before making any decisions on it's future. If Hedlund proves to be a big box office draw, then they may change their minds and movie forward with the Tron franchise.
