The journey to *TRON: Ares* has been a long and winding one. Disney initially greenlit a third film in October 2010, intended as a direct sequel to *Legacy*, following Sam and Quorra’s adventures as Sam took the reins of his father’s company, ENCOM. however, by 2015, the project was shelved, reportedly due to the box office performance of *Tomorrowland*. The franchise saw a revival in 2020, with the project reimagined as a standalone reboot rather than a direct continuation, though the central AI antagonist, Ares, was a concept present in earlier script iterations. After navigating a global pandemic and multiple Hollywood strikes,the film is finally slated for a theatrical release this fall.
