5 Things We Want To See in Tron 3
1. The Return of The Dillingers
This is the big one, the expectation to beat all expectations, so we may as well get it out of the way. Whispers of Cillian Murphy filming a secret cameo permeated the air before the release of Tron: Legacy, and very little clue was given into who he'd be. And just like that, his presence was dropped on us during the first act boardroom scene, confirming that he was the son of the original Tron's villain - Edward Dillinger, Sr. In his small cameo, Dillinger Jr. showed off both his slimy corporate politics, as well as his arrogant yet rightfully boastful programming skills. Right there, in one small scene, we saw Dillinger and Flynn 2.0 butt heads and take sides. If that didn't set the next installment up as a renewed grudge match between the two families, the short video of a computer chat between Dillinger Sr. and Jr. included on the Blu Ray release all but pointed to this being the next big conflict. With the Dillinger's plotting, now's the time to bring back both esteemed character actors into the fold and tell the story everyone's been waiting for since 1982. Dillinger Sr. went to jail for his crimes, and when he got out, he undoubtedly had plans to finish Flynn himself. It took some time, but he has obviously built his name back up in the ENCOM community. This fact alone gives us a story thread to pursue that would please older fans, as well as keep the newer fans hooked. More importantly, this story offers the opportunity to build upon the theme of familial legacy introduced in Legacy, as the Dillingers have always served as a dark mirror to the Flynn name. Not to mention, Sark and CLU would be the best friends on The Grid should they meet, which is a chilling prospect in and of itself.
