'Tron 3' Plot News, Update: Sequel to Feature Quorra in the Real World
For 5 years, fans of the hit science fiction film series "Tron" have been waiting for the next sequel of the 2010 "Tron: Legacy." Olivia Wilde explains the delay of the third installment, which currently has the working title of "Tron 3."
"The delay has only ever been story, finding the right story. It hasn't been anything else. There's never been a time where we wanted to go and then schedules got in the way. It's only been like, 'That's not the right story,'" she told Collider. "So, in the past year, the right story kind of came together and we felt, 'Oh, this actually – this might be the right one to tell.'"
"And, you know, there's still a lot to be done before it could actually happen, but the fact that there's a goal of this year to start is really exciting," the 31-year-old actress said.

Wilde has already gotten a copy of the new script and it indicated that the sequel will pick up where "Tron: Legacy" left off. That means that her character, Quorra, will be out with Sam (Garett Hedlund) in the real world.
"I'm really excited to see what happens to that character when put into the real world. I think it's an interesting concept. I'm fascinated by all discussions of AI, and especially now today and now with virtual reality becoming something that's like a personal device, I think it's the time to tell this story," Wilde continued.
Disney has yet to confirm a "Tron 3," but based on the enthusiasm that Wilde has for the project, it would be safe to assume that the film is really coming out this year. Collider went on to speculate that the Mouse House will probably release an official announcement and "perhaps a release date" sometime soon.
