Bruce Boxleitner has revealed that a third instalment in the Tron franchise is “a done deal”.
The actor, who plays the characters of Tron and Alan Bradley in the films, told reporters at a Disney D23 event that the follow-up to Tron Legacy is likely to be released in 2013.
Boxleitner said: “Oh, it’s already a done deal. It’s already in the works, my friend. It takes a long time to make these things; we won’t get to it until next year anyway.”
Despite a lukewarm critical reception for Tron Legacy, it is believed that the $400 million (£247m) secured by the film overall has convinced Disney to continue plans for a new addition to the franchise.
