TopGunMaverick director Joseph Kosinski says Disney lost interest in Tron Legacy sequel after investing in Marvel and StarWars:
✖ The computer world of the Grid is unplugged for now. In 2015, it was announced that Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski would reunite with Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde for Tron 3, but the sequel to the 2010 film was never officially greenlighted. Disney didn't move forward with Kosinski's Legacy followup, and by 2020, Deadline reported the studio was developing a third Tron with Lion helmer Garth Davis directing and Jared Leto starring.
When Tron: Legacy grossed $400 million worldwide after its release in December 2010, the studio had only two billion-dollar hits: 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Johnny Depp's live-action Alice in Wonderland. After acquiring Marvel Entertainment in late 2009, Disney purchased the worldwide marketing and distribution rights to Marvel's The Avengers and Iron Man 3 from Paramount Pictures, becoming the sole distributor of Marvel Studios movies.
"It was a different Disney by 2015. When I made Tron: Legacy, they didn't own Marvel; they didn't own Star Wars. We were the play for fantasy and science fiction," Kosinski said."And once you've got those other things under your umbrella, it makes sense that you're going to put your money into a known property and not the weird art student with black fingernails in the corner — that was Tron.
