Oh, and to crib from Wave's new gimmick:

"And in other news, it seems as if there may indeed be a silver lining to the fact that Disney's Star Wars movies have been metaphorical hot liquid feces with no redeeming qualities whatsover. In the wake of the total collapse of an entire franchise, Disney has seemingly panicked and begun work on a new Tron sequel.

After the modest success of Tron: Legacy ten years ago, there was some talk of a planned sequel, bringing the total number of movies to three. It was further suggested that Cillian Murphy's small uncredited cameo in the film was deliberately seeded to help establish the third film's eventual villain. But with the rising success of the MCU and the acquisition of the Star Wars franchise, there were multiple allegations that Disney no longer felt the need for a "male-oriented" sci-fi franchise, as they now had that demographic covered via comic books and space wizards. Tron, as a somewhat niche cult-favorite property, was apparently moved to the back-burner, with no intentions to continue. It was, of course, at this point that long-suffering Tron fans began to joke that it would take another 27 years before they'd see the next sequel.

Now, however, with the MCU peaking and The Rise of Skywalker retroactively murdering several childhoods, it appears Disney may be desperate to find potential alternate means of reaping male audience dollars - or, at the very least, sell more Disney+ memberships. Disney has recently announced that they are indeed moving forward with Tron 3, with Garth Davis - formerly known for directing the critically acclaimed "Lion" - at the helm. It has also been rumored that Jared Leto will be playing a major role, though whether as the protagonist or antagonist is currently unknown.

Barring any future delays, cancellations, or other production-related issues, the film could be in theaters by 2023, making for a gap between Tron 2 and Tron 3 of only thirteen years, only half as long as that between the first two. At this pace of acceleration, it might only require 6-7 years before a hypothetical Tron 4 could be produced. At which point the graph of production over time would start to look like the exact inverse of George RR Martin's work on the Song of Ice and Fire novels.

This has been a Geek News update."
