Possible plot details on Tron 3
This post contains SPOILERS for Tron: Legacy.
Nearly three decades after the original film, Tron: Legacy will finally be hitting theaters this Friday. Nobody really knows how the film will perform at the box-office, and the film has already been receiving mixed reviews from critics. Despite that uncertainty, screenwriters Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have already mentioned that plans for Tron 3 are underway (here), and What’s Playing seems to have gotten hold of some plot details on the next installment.
They first mention that screenwriters Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have not yet finished the script, and are just creating ideas for another sequel. One character that won’t be featured in Tron: Legacy will be Yori and Laura (Cindy Morgan) because Kitis and Horowitz see this film as Flynn’s story, and don’t want to just give them a small cameo as background characters. Instead, Morgan’s character will be “saved for a later film where they’d potentially have something to do“. There’s reportedly about several different stories created just for the character of Laura. Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) isn’t likely to return, but that’s uncertain at this point. Cillain Murphy (Batman Begins, Inception) will cameo in Tron: Legacy, and is on-board for Tron 3.
Of course, these are just ideas at this point, and it’s uncertain if another film will get made. If the film is a success at the box-office, then Kitsis and Horowitz could possibly use some of this ideas for the next sequel. Although, the film is sitting on a $200 million budget, and the film will need to make a lot to be a success. A recent screen-test of the film is getting the studio worried as the film is tracking quite well, but not as well as hoped.
