Development of a sequel to Tron: Legacy began in October 2010, under the direction of franchise creator Steven Lisberger. In March 2017, Walt Disney Pictures shifted plans toward a soft reboot with Leto playing a new character.

Production was expected to begin in August 2023 but was delayed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Filming ultimately started in January 2024 in Vancouver and wrapped in May. By August, industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails was composing the score. The band’s members, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, served as executive producers on the film, alongside Legacy director Joseph Kosinski.
