\"Tron<\/a>
It looks as if Tron 3 will no longer be happening<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sad news for those who were looking forward to the third instalment in the Tron<\/strong><\/em> series (for the record we rather enjoyed it, despite the mainly negative critical consensus), as the promposed Tron<\/strong><\/em> threequel (referred to as Tron: Ascension<\/strong><\/em> in some quarters) now won’t be happening, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite initial reports stating that director Joseph Kosinski and stars Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were poised to return, it seems as if the project was never officially green-lit. Production was poised to start in autumn, and there were even rumours that future Suicide Squad<\/strong><\/em> star Jared Leto was being approached for a role, but alas, it appears it wasn’t to be.<\/p>\n

Although second film Tron: Legacy<\/strong><\/em> did well, grossing $400 million after being made for $170 million, it didn’t exactly set the world alight. Moreover, considering the lukewarm box-office performance of Disney’s Tomorrowland: A World Beyond<\/strong><\/em>, it seems like Disney is less willing to take a chance, choosing to concentrate instead on a release slate that includes the likes of Beauty And The Beast<\/strong><\/em>, The Jungle Book<\/strong> <\/em>and Alice: Through The Looking Glass<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

So it looks like this is it for Tron<\/strong><\/em>, at least for now. Still, you never know…<\/p>\n

Tron: Legacy<\/em> is available to buy on DVD\u00a0 now<\/a>. For all the news on the biggest movies, pick up the latest issue of SciFiNow<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
