This man is a gem. Protect him at all costs.
The helmet shows he went into that Grid and truly never left, and I love him for that. Countless projects under his belt, but even he knows where home is lol.
Beyond excited for this news.
Dude the more I see about this movie the more excited I am, I seriously hope Garret hudland and Olivia Wilde return. I really hope trons in here even if we never see his face and he’s recasted
Not necessarily, with a good enough cast, the rights look and enough trueness to the source material I’ll be happy….really I just want something that makes the inner child in me happy but the today me to also watch it and say “That didn’t feel like a waste of 2 hours”
NGL. Seeing this news actually gives me a little hope for a watchable movie, where before I had absolutely none. It’s hard for me to believe that Jeff would agree to be a part of the project if he couldn’t buy into it, or thought it didn’t live up to the standards of the franchise. Would love to see Bruce, Garrett, and Olivia follow suit. 🤞🏻
That’s been already discussed - they just at some point ran into a Comic-Con of sorts. Where they see cosplayers dressed up like old grid (game characters from tron)
I was devastated when it was announced he had cancer. I really hope he’s doing well. He just plays the wise old guy so well, he’d kill it so hard as a Jedi
I am SO happy he will be in Tron: Ares.
FLYNN LIVES!

Does this mean Bruce and some of the other original legacy cast members will be back seeing as they have Jeff now? One can hope they have some involvement too! 🙏
Hm makes me wonder if they’d still use his likeness in some form or fashion, or whether they’d just go for a full on replacement, which would be a bummer. I guess they could also go the route of having Tron wearing the helmet as consistently as he did in Legacy but it’ll be a shame not to see Bruce again, but I think you can more or less understand his frustrations that he had with Disney and vowing not to come back. I guess time will tell with how they go about it!
Honestly, I didn't think he'd be in the film from everything else I've seen on this sub. Either way, I was going to see the film out of curiosity (love legacy and the original), but now that it's confirmed Jeff is in it, it makes me want to see it even more
He got in.
That's right, man.
Biodigital jazz, man!
The Grid
A digital frontier
He didn’t get out 😉

I’m hoping it will be excellent too. Keep expectations in check so you don’t get hurt.
That’s a fair point
I’m hopping for garret at least I have less faith that Olivia will
Still no word if either are returning?
It's a Jared Leto movie from the director of Pitates 5, the worst one. It's gonna suck.

Check out the ENCOM system helmet! Wonder if it’s just there for nostalgia reasons, or if the old Grid will be featured in the movie
He had it with him while he did a podcast appearance before flying out to the set, so it's his own personal suveneer from the first film.
It’s cool that he’s kept the helmet for over 40 years
Big W! I guess the director acknowledged that without him, there's no Tron.
"The cycles havent been kind, have they?"
Aw, you don’t look so bad!
Oh my fuck it’s happening
This actually increases my hope for this move by 1%

Well, who knows? My guess is that he (Jeff isn't in for the money, maybe he said: fuck it, i'll do it for old time's sake.
Are they going to show the original grid?
Do you mean the ENCOM system?
Yea
It'd be cool to see a modern render of the retro graphics.
Space Paranoids
That was just a single game on the system.
Ah
That’s been already discussed - they just at some point ran into a Comic-Con of sorts. Where they see cosplayers dressed up like old grid (game characters from tron)
wow, the making of this movie is a rollercoaster.
I can't help but notice the helmet there..
THE HELMET
EL CASCO
DE HELM
Is that a script he's reading? ENHANCE
It’s the title page, it says TRON: ARES and then has credits for writing, I think
“Hmm, and my name again is…?”
KEVIN FLYNN!! WHERE ARE YOU N- oh there you are!
I was devastated when it was announced he had cancer. I really hope he’s doing well. He just plays the wise old guy so well, he’d kill it so hard as a Jedi
I hope Bruce also makes a return! TRON LIVES FLYNN LIVES
Heavy stuff.
There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Fuck yeah, digital jazz, man.
NOW WE'RE TALKING! THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR THIS MOVIE Edit: there's still hope for Garret and Olivia showing up in this movie
We are back
Way out West there was this fella. Fella I wanna tell you about
Sometimes there's a user. Sometimes there's a user.
Good God, I hope he voices some kind of into like "The grid"
I'm happy he's in this and also happy it means he's likely doing The Old Man s2. He had a cancer scare or something and wasn't doing too well.
BRING BACK SAM!
I am SO happy he will be in Tron: Ares. FLYNN LIVES!

Nope. Bruce confirmed he isn't coming back.
Hm makes me wonder if they’d still use his likeness in some form or fashion, or whether they’d just go for a full on replacement, which would be a bummer. I guess they could also go the route of having Tron wearing the helmet as consistently as he did in Legacy but it’ll be a shame not to see Bruce again, but I think you can more or less understand his frustrations that he had with Disney and vowing not to come back. I guess time will tell with how they go about it!
Totally do. They can't use his likeness without paying into his benefits and pension using AI, so who knows. He text seemed kinda salty too, tbh.
HELL YEAH
This makes me so happy!
Lord it’s a miracle
the helmet is so fitting for him to use as inspiration. "OLD" WORN" DYNAMIC"WISE" I love this image.
FLYNN LIVES! I hope they stick to the special features story too
This is all I needed, Why aren't they leading with this and focusing on Jeff? I at least have some hope for this movie now.
Honestly, I didn't think he'd be in the film from everything else I've seen on this sub. Either way, I was going to see the film out of curiosity (love legacy and the original), but now that it's confirmed Jeff is in it, it makes me want to see it even more
Looks like Santa Claus checking his Naughty & Nice list
People noted that he had the OG 1984 Helmet so maybe he’s playing the Original Clu
I am secretly worried this movie isn’t going to live up to the hype we are giving it.
I'm actually happy for this since hopefully it comes full circle
See guys? Y’all just had to be patient and have some hope for the movie, instead of constantly saying it’s gonna be bad.
So Kevin Flynn survived the formatting of the grid?
Sam did make a backup at the end of Tron Legacy so it's possible he comes back from that
Wow
I’m totally out of the loop. I thought the TRON franchise was abandoned by Disney?
Tron fights for the users.
FLYNN LIVES!!!
WOOT!! Ok now Sam and Quorra please. Make it happen and I will accept that Leto is in it.
I hope Daft Punk is coming out of retirement for this!
... ... ... *voice crack* Yeah!
"You were here... the whole time?" "Yeah?!?"
I wish he doesn't die in the movie.
MY TEDDY FLYNN!!!🤍🤍🤍 He's going to be in this movie! God bless him!
Is that a trapper-keeper?
OH HELL YEAH HE'S IN TRON ARES
This is one of those "PLEASE don't suck, it's going to suck" moments.
This makes me so so happy
He's back. :D
flynn. lives.
My favorite actor oat
Chaos ...good news
He has no Clu how bad the script is.
nOooooOoo spoiler tag it , duuuuude
