While we’re all waiting for TRON: Ares to arrive later this year, we’re still wondering why it didn’t pick up on the story left hanging at the end of 2010’s TRON: Legacy, but now we might have an answer.
At the recent Motor City Comic Con, star of Legacy, Garrett Hedlund, took to the stage and spoke about being part of the TRON universe, confirming that while he’s not appearing in this year’s TRON: Ares, but doesn’t mean we won’t see his character of Sam Flynn again.
Director Joseph Kosinski talks about the plot and future of TRON 3
At the end of Legacy, Sam and Quorra, an ISO from within The Grid (the virtual world that TRON takes place in), played by Olivia Wilde, escape into our world, setting up a whole new story arc where a person from within the Grid now exists in the real world – indeed, at the time there was talk that we would see a sequel called TRON: Ascension, where the computer world invades our world, but alas it never happened, however Hedlund has confirmed that, if Ares does well, there is a script written for Sam and Quorra!
Which has me wondering… might we also see Cillian Murphy appear? Fans will recall that Murphy had a (literally) blink and you’ll miss him) appearance in Legacy which was intended to set him up as the villain in the next movie… might we still see that happen?
Thoughts? I know you have ’em and I wanna hear ’em.
TRON: Ares is a follow-up to Disney’s 1982 seminal science fiction film TRON and the 2010 sequel, TRON: Legacy.
Joachim Rønning directs TRON: Ares and says: “I’m excited to be part of the TRON franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world. ‘TRON: Ares’ builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid.”
TRON: Ares follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.
The feature film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, with Gillian Anderson.
TRON: Ares hits screens on October 10th.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
