Tron 4 Release Date Estimate, News & Updates

by

Now that *Tron: Ares* is out in cinemas, many viewers are asking about a potential *Tron 4* release date. So far, *Tron: Ares* has earned $33.5 million in the US and $60.5 million globally, with a production budget of $180 million. The film centers on Ares, a sophisticated and highly intelligent program played by Jared Leto, who makes the journey from the digital realm into the real world.

So what is the Tron 4 release date estimate? When can fans expect it? Here’s what we know.

What is the Tron 4 release date estimate?

Tron 4 is currently estimated to be released around 2028, but its development depends on how well the movie *Tron: Ares* performs in theaters.

Currently, Tron: Ares has earned $60.5 million globally, with $33.5 million from the US and $27 million from other countries. Because a movie needs to perform well to get a sequel made, Tron: Ares would likely need to earn 2.5 to 3 times its production cost to be considered successful. This means the film needs to gross between $450 and $500 million just to cover its costs.

If the new Tron film, Ares, does well in the coming weeks, plans for a sequel will move forward quickly, potentially releasing it by 2028. But if it doesn’t perform well, a sequel is unlikely to be made.

Tron: Ares leaves the door open for a sequel with its ending and a scene after the credits. Ares sends Eve a postcard from Mexico while looking at photos of Sam and Quorra from the previous film, Tron: Legacy, suggesting a future encounter between them in a potential Tron 4.

After the credits roll, Julian Dillinger appears in the digital world of the Grid. He discovers an Identity Disc that looks just like the one his grandfather, Ed Dillinger, used in the original 1982 film, Tron. When he touches it, he’s transformed into a character similar to Sark, hinting that he might be the main villain in the next Tron movie.

Director Joachim Rønning recently told Collider that whether or not ‘Tron 4’ gets made rests on audience support. He explained that if enough people watch the latest film, they’ll be able to explore the possibility of continuing the story and answering questions about the franchise’s future.

The next Tron movie could continue the story from the end of Tron: Ares, with Ares searching for Sam and Quorra. It might also show Julian learning to navigate and use the Grid’s unique abilities.

The Tron 4 cast could include Jared Leto and Evan Peters, as teased in Tron: Ares’ ending.
