What is the plot of Tron 3?
So, according to the official plot summary of Tron Ares, we will see Jared Leto's Ares traveling to the human world on a secret mission, marking mankind's first interaction with sentient artificial intelligence. This summary is in contrast to previous portrayals seen in Tron movies where humans visit the world of Tron.
The sequel Tron: Legacy was supposed to see forces from the world of Tron come to the human world and launch a massive invasion. Now, it seems like Tron 3 will scrap that idea and show us a different story set in the same universe.
As of now, we have not received any confirmation of the appearance of Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn and Olivia Wilde as Quorra in Tron: Ares. Since, by the end of Tron Legacy, Quorra went to the human world and became human, she should have made an appearance if the story was connected to Tron: Legacy. This only reinforces that this film may be a soft reboot rather than a sequel to Tron: Legacy.
