Garrett Hedlund Returning To Star In Third ‘Tron’ Film

After news of a screenwriter being attached to a third Tron film, the question arose if we would be seeing any of the cast of Tron: Legacy return for the film. It’s now been confirmed that Garrett Hedlund, who starred as Sam Flynn in the film, will be returning to reprise his role and star in the third chapter in the franchise.

Hedlund himself confirmed this while speaking about his movie On The Road. When asked if he would be returning to star in the next film Hedlund responded:

“Yeah. Are we gonna break this now? Disney’s very excited. That’s about that. You know, yeah, I’m very excited, Disney’s very excited.”

Jesse Wigutow is currently in negotiations to write the script with Joseph Kosinski, who directed Tron: Legacy, returning to direct. There is no word if any of the other cast members will be returning but production is rumored to begin in 2014.
