Overview
- Concept artist Phil Saunders posted artwork on ArtStation depicting Cillian Murphy as a new Sark, saying it was created to help lure him back as Edward Dillinger Jr.
- The revealed pieces confirm early development on a threequel often referred to as Tron: Ascension under Joseph Kosinski before the project evolved into Joachim Rønning’s Tron: Ares.
- Saunders cited Moebius as a key influence on his reinterpretation of Sark’s iconic look, presenting multiple variations before a favorite was selected.
- With Murphy not returning, the franchise shifted the Dillinger/Sark lineage toward Evan Peters’ character in Ares without detailing specific plot turns.
- Coverage notes Ares’ weak box office and poor reviews have left follow-up plans uncertain, even as the film is now available on Disney+ and home formats.
