Bruce Boxleitner Says Tron 3 Is Happening - Who Are We to Argue?

Via Movie Hole, Bruce Boxleitner, who played the title character in the original Tron from 1982 and its 2010 sequel, told a fan at the D23 convention while signing autographs of Tron 3 being a "done deal" for 2013:

I don't buy it.

Tron: Legacy didn't ignite the box-office like a match on charcoal as Disney was hoping (and many, like me, initially expected) last Christmas and if they were so confident and happy with the finished results, don't you think they wouldn't have dropped Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion (now Horizons)?

It's not like they're in a tight spot and needing to fill an open slot badly like Paramount with G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. Both Pixar and Marvel are in their firm possession, and judging by their planned summer 2014 lineup they fully plan to utilize them, and there's also (God save us...) more Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.

So they're not exactly in a bind nor is there a hungering for more 3D light-cycles with Garrett Hedlund. I'll believe Tron 3 is happening when I see it.
