Jared Leto and Disney are going ahead with Tron 3. We have to ask: what’s the point? | Film

Some Hollywood news reports just don’t add up. “Tom Cruise to star in Top Gun 3” – well yes, obviously. “James Cameron to keep making weirder and weirder Avatar sequels until he’s in his 90s” – yep, inevitably. “Tron 3 moving forward with Jared Leto” – ahem, really? The article in the Hollywood Reporter this week poses far more questions than it answers.Why is Disney going ahead with Tron 3 when 2010’s feeble Tron: Legacy was hardly a box office or critical smash, despite rehiring Jeff Bridges, spending millions on CGI…

Jared Leto Finally Gets an Award Nomination for His Role in ‘Morbius’

Image via Sony With the Golden Globes behind us and Oscar nominations set to drop within a matter of hours, award season is well and truly in full swing, celebrating the best and brightest in film and television. None other than Jared Leto and the team behind last year’s morbially acclaimed Morbius just so happen to be up for a number of accolades, although not for any of Hollywood’s highest honors – the Academy is unlikely to touch that flaming pile of mediocrity with a ten-foot pole. Rather, Leto has been…

‘Tron’ Fans Feel Betrayed After Threequel Set to Have Jared Leto Star

Following just over a decade of demanding Tron 3, fans have won — but at what cost — as Jared Leto is set to star and lead the threequel. Tron is a special and unique franchise, almost completely un-Disney-like in many aspects. Technological pioneer and visually stunning, the series has led to two cult classics but no financial hits. The trailblazer status of the original in particular has allowed it to remain in mostly positive light. The legacy sequel in 2011 — literally titled TRON: Legacy — is perhaps best…

Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) is in talks to direct, according to . As  notes, Leto first signed on back in 2017, but Disney has had a third movie on the backburner…

Jared Leto Heading to ‘Haunted Mansion,’ Hopefully Not Going Method

Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images It’s been an interesting year for Jared Leto to say the least, with the polarizing actor “winning” a Razzie for his work in House of Gucci, before headlining one of the year’s most talked-about movies. Unfortunately, that picture was the dreaded Morbius, but a new report claims the Academy Award winner is getting into the Disney business by boarding next year’s Haunted Mansion. Given the tales of Leto’s method madness stretching back decades, we’re genuinely concerned…

Jared Leto Acknowledges Morbius Meme, Ruins It Immediately

Image: Sony Pictures/MarvelEarlier in the week, Sony announced their plans to bring their vampire/superhero-ish movie Morbius back into theaters this coming July. The film—which, in case you’ve forgotten, only came out like two months ago—starred Jared Leto as the titular Doctor Michael Morbius and was honestly nothing to write home about. Surely worse superhero movies exist, but better ones also do as well, and the box office reflected that pretty handily at the time. But the film’s become a meme on Twitter in recent

Is Jared Leto Self-Aware Enough to Embrace the Love for ‘Morbius’?

Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images For lack of a better term, Jared Leto is “A Very Serious Actor”. The Academy Award winner has become famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) for the way he approaches every single one of his roles, which leads to an interesting scenario should meme culture will a Morbius sequel into existence. In what’s surely an attempt on Sony’s part to gauge whether or not the widely-panned Marvel blockbuster is capable of enticing paying customers at the second time of…
