Get ready for a thrilling journey into the world of Tron, where the future is as unpredictable as the Grid itself! The stars of Tron: Ares have a vision for a Tron 4 reunion, and it's a pitch that will leave you wanting more.
In a franchise that spans over four decades, Tron: Ares takes us on a unique path, blending the virtual realm with the real world. While it may seem like a straightforward continuation, the film offers a fresh take on the concept of programs becoming human. But here's where it gets controversial... the director and writer of Tron: Ares, Joachim Rønning and Jesse Wigutow, have a different story to tell, one that pays homage to the past while carving its own path.
The film concludes with a tantalizing promise - a potential reunion of AI soldier Ares (Jared Leto) and Quorra (Olivia Wilde), last seen riding into the sunset with Kevin Flynn's son, Sam. This hint of future adventures is just the beginning. There's a credits scene that adds another layer of intrigue, revealing the fate of a key antagonist, Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters).
Tron: Ares' mid-credits sequence is a game-changer, shedding light on Julian's digital existence in the Grid. After escaping justice, Julian finds himself in a post-apocalyptic virtual world, a stark contrast to the vibrant Grid we know. But here's the twist: Julian discovers an identity disc, a replica of the one used by Sark, the evil program created by Julian's grandfather. As he grasps the disc, a chilling transformation begins, suggesting a dark path for Julian. Could this be a hint at a Tron 4, with the Dillingers' return and a potential resurrection of Elisabeth (Gillian Anderson)?
In an exclusive interview, Peters and Anderson revealed their own pitch for a Tron sequel, discussing the possibility of bringing Elisabeth back to life digitally. "Anything is possible," Anderson said, expressing her desire to don a Tron-style suit of armor. With Ares' story left unresolved and the Dillingers' potential resurrection, the Tron franchise is far from over.
And this is the part most people miss... there's no post-credits sequence in Tron: Ares. No need to linger for any hidden surprises. But the question remains: with the stars' pitch and the intriguing mid-credits scene, will we see a Tron 4? Only time and box office success will tell. What do you think? Should we expect a Tron reunion, or is this franchise better left in the past? Share your thoughts in the comments!
