Jared Leto has pushed for the revival of the Tron franchise for the past few years, and current reports indicate that his efforts have been successful. In the upcoming threequel, the 51-year-old actor will play a new character dubbed Ares. We can infer that Leto will play the lead in the film, which is slated to start filming in Vancouver in August this year, based on the working title of Tron: Ares.
Joachim Ronning is reportedly in talks with Disney to replace Garth Davis as the film's director, according to Deadline. Joachim will be welcomed by Disney because of their previous collaborations with him on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, even if the studio had intended for Joseph Kosinski to helm the director's seat once more.
The film's executive producers will be Sean Bailey and Sam Dickerman, while Jesse Wigutow will write the script. Disney might have to look for another composer to take Daft Punk's place, though. In 2021, the French electronic music duo that composed the musical score for Tron: Legacy disbanded.
