It will happen, eventually, but the sun will also burn out eventually. There are eternal rumors about a follow-up. I recall Legacy looking pretty nifty on a big IMAX screen, but a recent pandemic rewatch was absolute death, one flat scene after another shot on a digital backlot that looks like pre-vis for a car commercial. Legacy was a hallmark entry in the post- Avatar 3D boom, a misbegotten technological revolution everyone would like to forget. It was the first big film Bridges starred in after his Crazy Heart Oscar anointed his fuzzy-uncle sixtysomething stardom - but it was released almost simultaneously with True Grit, a much better film with the good historical luck of inventing Hailee Steinfeld. The sequel is a shimmery footnote for Daft Punk, who were a few years away from really nailing the whole orchestral-electronica thing with Random Access Memories. Ten years later, Tron: Legacy has less of a legacy than the original film it worshipped.
