Well this is truly disappointing news. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Walt Disney Pictures has decided not to move forward with TRON 3. As of late, word was spreading that both Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were preparing to reprise their respective roles as Sam Flynn and Quorra from TRON: Legacy with director Joseph Kosinski hoping to start production in the fall, but it appears their efforts to keep the project moving forward are all for naught.

Disney had been interested in adding Jared Leto to the cast, but an offer and negotiations had never commenced.

Tron Legacy grossed $172 million domestically and $400 million worldwide. The sequel to the cult classic Tron received mixed reviews. The under performance of current Disney tentpole Tomorrowland might have had some influence into Disney’s decision. The $180 million live-action film debuted with a dismal $42 million dollar opening weekend followed by an abysmal $13 million dollar second weekend.
