After facing a series of delays and setbacks, filming on Tron: Ares is now officially underway. The third film in the Tron franchise, plans for a follow-up to 2010’s Tron: Legacy began as early as the second film’s release but would later fall through when Disney announced they had scrapped the film in 2015. In 2017, the project would get fresh life with Jared Leto attached to star. Filming was intended to finally get underway in August last year, but the project was again delayed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Now, director Joachim Rønning has confirmed that the frequently troubled project has finally begun filming by posting a new set photo to Instagram. Check it out below:
While the photo only reveals the production’s stylized Tron 3 logo, featuring the number 3 in place of the letter O, the director also accompanied the picture with the caption “WEEK 1 ON THE GRID.”
