It's been five years since the release of the last movie, and now the series is set to return with its stars reprising their roles.

Wilde comes straight from filming the Blumhouse-produced horror flick The Lazarus Effect, while Hedlund is taking on the role of Hook in Disney's retelling of Peter Pan later this year.

Director Joseph Kosinski, also from the Tron: Legacy team, will be returning for the third instalment.

The plot for the upcoming film has been kept tightly under wraps but it is expected to follow on from the ending of the last movie.

Legacy was the sequel to the 1982 film that saw Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleinter enter the world of The Grid inside a super computer.
Despite not being a hit when it was released, Tron later became a cult classic, influencing filmmakers and pop culture throughout the decade.

Disney revisited the Tron world in 2010 with Legacy, which saw the son of Jeff Bridges character (Hedlund) follow his fathers lead and enter the digital world – with the help of a rather attractive computer algorithm in the shape of Olivia Wilde.

It's been reported that production for Tron 3 will begin in autumn this year in Vancouver
