Jared Leto 'excited' for Tron: Legacy sequel, Garth Davis to direct

Disney has tapped Garth Davis to direct the sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy, which places the film franchise back in the spotlight. Jared Leto, who had been attached to the project since 2017, further confirmed his involvement through a post on Instagram.

This news first broke in an article posted byThe Hollywood Reporter on Monday. Davis is known for directing the Oscar-nominated film, Lion.

In following years, Tron became a cult classic and finally received its awaited sequel in 2010 with Tron Legacy.

I’m struck with such gratitude for the opportunity to bring this movie to life, especially as both the original video game and the film affected me so deeply as a young child. The fact that I get to be a part of this new chapter is mind-blowing. I am so very excited and proud to confirm that YES - I will be starring in TRON. We will work as hard as we possibly can to create something that I hope you all will love. We have some very special ideas in store for you all...? Anyone wanna go to the movies? ? ? See you in the grid!??‍?
