Earlier this week, following a screening of Tron: Legacy, Kosinski opened up about the plot of Tron: Ascension.
The project wouldn’t be a “direct sequel” to Kosinski’s Tron: Legacy, though it would use elements from the screenplay for the now-abandoned Tron: Ascension, including a new character named Ares — that’s the role Leto is circling.
Then again, there’s still a chance that this new Tron project might not happen at all, either.
Just this week, Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski divulged some details from the third Tron film (titled Ascension) and revealed that the sequel wasn’t totally dead, but in “cryogenic freeze.”
