Olivia Wilde has confirmed a second Tron sequel is underway from Disney. Wilde, who played Quorra in 2010’s sleep-inducing Tron: Legacy, said the studio had a story it was excited to tell and that the new film will find her character living in the real world.

Wilde told Collider:

In the past year, the right story kind of came together and we felt, ‘Oh, this actually – this might be the right one to tell.’ And, you know, there’s still a lot to be done before it could actually happen, but the fact that there’s a goal of this year to start is really exciting.

I’m really excited to see what happens to that character when put into the real world. I think it’s an interesting concept. I’m fascinated by all discussions of AI, and especially now today and now with virtual reality becoming something that’s like a personal device, I think it’s the time to tell this story.

Tron: Legacy is a sequel to Disney’s 1982 classic Tron and centers on protagonist Sam Flynn’s (Garrett Hedlund) search for his father Kevin (Jeff Bridges) inside the Tron mainframe. The film has earned more than $397 million worldwide.
