Disney Cancels Tron 3
Tron 3 has been canceled.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has pulled the plug on the sci-fi sequel. While the studio is said to have never officially green-lit Tron 3, production was gearing up to begin this fall, likely in Vancouver.
Tron: Legacy helmer Joseph Kosinski was expected back to direct and Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were to reprise their roles as Sam Flynn and Quorra, respectively.
