      Well it’s produced by Leto, so ask him why he put himself in it.

          Eh, as much as the dude creeps me out, he was phenomenal in WeCrashed. Probably because the character was relentlessly insufferable.

          Suicide Squad and Morbius were awful scripts, I don’t think anyone could have saved them. I also get the sense that sci-fi/fantasy isn’t really his jam, so I’m not hopeful when it comes to Tron.

        He’s a… method actor. He’s one of those guys who will literally live in the role until production is finished, on and off camera.

        He got a lot of hate for playing Joker in Suicide Squad (the first one), not only because their version of Joker was a cringey edge lord instead of the brilliant psychopath he’s usually portrayed as, but also because, while he was “in character,” he did a bunch of awful things to his costars, including mailing them used condoms. All because his character would’ve done those things and he was trying to live out the role in real life.

        Then he acted in Morbius and was again awful to deal with until filming was wrapped, and it sparked a whole debate over whether method actors were even good actors in the first place.

        I mean, as far as I’m concerned, if you can’t seamlessly slip into a role when the cameras turn on, then you’re kind of a shitty actor. If you need to adopt the role and be that character for the entire production timeline, then you kind of suck at acting. But that’s just my opinion.

          I imagine most of the time, method acting doesn’t really produce a better result for the audience. I will say one of my favorite movies, Man on the Moon, was done with Jim Carey doing method acting and I can’t imagine that movie being the same if he didn’t. For yet another blah-tier superhero movie, probably not worth it, but on the rare dramatic role that calls for it, I can understand its use cases.

          How about we just have a rule that method actors can’t play evil characters?

      Same reason why half of MTVs time slots are ridiculousness.

      Awful people with money become producers and self insert themselves into everything.

      Bruh, they didn’t even get last Tron movie’s director back. You know, the guy who went on to direct Top Gun: Maverick.

      Instead they got the guy who directed Maleficent 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 5.

      There are, in fact other brilliant electronic artists who can do as much justice to Tron’s legacy as Daft Punk did, pun intended. Speaking of which, I’d nominate Justice to name a well known one.

        I liked justice for a short while, but they seem a little limited in their range. maybe M83? They killed it on Oblivion

          I like the sound of their upcoming album, but you’re probably right. Personally, I’d die to hear Le Matos given a chance at it.

    I have mixed feelings about Leto, but I do have a hankering for another Tron movie. The last one was like the first one but on steroids with Daft punk and everything. Listened to that soundtrack a million times.

    Hope they/he doesnt mess it up to bad…

      Check director’s record.

      This is probably going to be made by committee movie going through a checklist with standard action setpieces made by CG team with minimal to no input from the director.

    I dunno, he’s weird as fuck, but he can turn in interesting performances because of that. Could work.
