Joseph Kosinski, the director of TRON: Legacy, thinks that a sequel is still possible at Disney.
It took a while for TRON to finally receive a sequel, with TRON: Legacy arriving in cinemas 28 years later. Hopes for a third film in the series have existed ever since but what are the chances as of 2020?
Well, according to director Joseph Kosinski, it is possible but it will all come down to timing. Speaking to ComicBook.com, he said:
“There’s always been an interest since Legacy [for a sequel]. There’s always been talk and murmuring of doing another and continuing the story. I was in China a few years ago and saw them building the TRON ride in Shanghai, which, apparently, is pretty amazing, I would love to experience that at some point. I think it’s still a nice jewel in the crown of Disney IP and I think there are fans and people petitioning and pushing to continue it inside the halls of Disney. So I think it could happen. Like anything, it just needs the right confluence of … it’s all about timing and the right elements and everything’s got to come together for a movie to happen. I think it’s possible and I think it’s worthy of it. I think there’s enough ideas in the franchise, and the fact that it is so unique and nothing else looks or sounds like it, that TRON story. There is, I think, a future for the franchise and I hope they keep making them.”
So, there you have it TRON fans, it’s possible! We will just have to be patient to see if this cool sci-fi franchise will live once more on the big screen. Or perhaps it could find a home on Disney+?
