Olivia Wilde shares some of the first plot details regarding next Tron film.

While attending the premiere of Meadowland at the Tribeca Film Festival, Wilde was asked about Tron 3, which a sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy. The sequel is bringing back director Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion) and stars Wilde and Garrett Hedlund (Pan).

At the end of the last one, Wilde's aggressive, yet naive isomorphic algorithm escapes the Grid and enters the real world for the first time. Wilde says that experience will be explored in the sequel. "And I'm really excited to see what happens to that character when put into the real world," Wilde told Collider. "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."

Olivia Wilde also confirmed that Tron 3 will begin filming in the fall (October) and that she has already read a script. This is important as she stressed that the sequel to the 2010 had more to do with a lack of story than an underwhelming box office performance.

"The delay has only ever been story, finding the right story. It hasn't been anything else," Wilde explained. "There's never been a time where we wanted to go and then schedules got in the way. It's only been like, 'That's not the right story.' So, 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."
