It is the actor Jared Leto who revealed that a new Tron movie is planned. He will be the main actor as well as the co-producer.
Tron 3: a project long on hold
Tron is a 1982 film directed by Steven Lisberger. It is considered a cult film in the world of science fiction. 29 years later, Disney offers a sequel to the film entitled Tron : The Legacy. A second project that had mostly disappointed the press. Télérama declared "This Tron-là only recycles the original product by restyling it and boosting it with big electro sound". In 2015, a third project was proposed to be postponed to 2017. It was already rumored that Jared Leto would play the lead role. The film was recently put back on the table: https://twitter.com/JaredLeto/status/1292942227040157697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1292942227040157697%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.premiere.fr%2FCinema%2FNews-Cinema%2FTron-3-confirme-par-Disney-et-par-Jared-Leto Leto is clearly very passionate about the project and has been trying to move it forward for years. He now seems more ready than ever.
A film that found its director
Garth Davis will direct it. A name may be unknown to some. Yet, he directed the film Lion, 6 times nominated for Oscars. The story of an Indian child who seeks to find his biological parents (inspired by a true story). A director who undertakes a perilous film, even though the last Tron has been undermined under fire from critics. He has won multiple awards, through the film Marie Madeleine (2018) as well as a few episodes of the series Top of the Lake. He "pursued the work aggressively." He will be with Jesse Wigutow who has just finished the draft of the script. In addition to Jared Leto, Justin Springer and Emma Ludbrook join the production team. We have for the moment no information about the release date and the shooting. So, after years of complications, the third Tron movie would be on the right track. In any case, the support of Jared Leto will be a strong element to advance this project.
