10 Cancelled Movie Sequels (That Could Still Happen)
1. Tron 3
Cancellation
It's been ten years since Tron: Legacy was released, and over the last decade, the prospect of a sequel has been consistently bandied about.
A followup was planned even before Legacy hit cinemas, and in early 2015, it was revealed that director Joseph Kosinski had been hired to bring Tron 3 to life, but a few months later, THR reported that Disney had lost interest in the project.
Years passed, and then - out of the blue - news of a Jared Leto-starring Tron reboot began to swirl, seemingly killing the idea of Tron 3 permanently. However, the reboot then vanished off the grid, and all has been quiet since.
Why It's Not Dead
Just a few days ago, the future of Tron 3 started to look a tiny bit brighter. While being interviewed by ComicBook.com, Kosinski said that talks about doing a third instalment have never really gone away, even inside the "halls" of Disney:
"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 think there are fans and people petitioning and pushing to continue it inside the halls of Disney. So I think it could happen. There is, I think, a future for the franchise and I hope they keep making them."
So, not a resounding "it's back on!" but not a dismissal either. With Star Wars being done for now, Disney has space for a major sci-fi franchise on its schedule, and Legacy definitely did well enough to warrant more movies.
